Hamacher Chardonnays are aged for 18 months in premium French oak barrels made from staves which are minimally toasted and aged for nearly twice as long as the industry norm. This leeches out all of the astringent phenolics and allows the wine to soften and integrate without absorbing harsh tannins or toastiness.

Intense darkly fruited aromatics, broad, spicy and complex in the nose. The palate lives up to what the nose promises; seamless, rich, gorgeous. Buy it fast or miss it!

Rich Summer fruits and flowers fills the nose. Ripe strawberry, peach, cantaloupe and rose hips jump out of the glass. The palate is full-bodied, round, viscous and mouthcoating yet with good acidity that holds it all together. Notes of lilacs, honeycomb and vanilla give way into a long clean finish.
