Bread & Butter Sliced Chardonnay

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Bread & Butter Sliced Chardonnay is a revelation for those seeking a luxurious yet health-conscious option. Boasting a well-rounded, medium-bodied profile, this Chardonnay is audaciously rich in aromas and flavors, from ripe pineapple through golden apple, softly punctuated by sweet vanilla and seductive butterscotch. These lush flavors seamlessly blend with a smooth, velvety texture that permeates each sip, delivering a lasting impression of creamy complexity and comforting finish. Unlike more traditional Chardonnays that carry higher alcohol content, this version rests delicately at a lower 9% ABV, encouraging moderation without forfeiting indulgence. Each glass captures the balanced act between richness and light, inviting a variety of wine enthusiasts to celebrate both vibrant and nuanced notes harmoniously. The trademark richness interlaces gracefully with a sophisticated touch of toasted almond and lemon zest, ensconcing an experience that is at once invigorating and wonderfully satisfying.
