Frog’s Leap Chardonnay Shale and Stone Napa Valley 2019

Description

The combination of a very successful vintage, the deep fractured soils of the Truchard vineyard, a short-barrel fermentation followed by extended sur lie aging has once again produced a remarkable chardonnay in the unique Frog’s Leap style. Subtle but distinct white peach combined with lightly toasted hazelnuts define the aromas. But it really is the crisp, perfectly balanced, and bone-dry flavors that make the wine. The only problem with serving it with a perfectly baked quiche Lorraine is that too much of the bottle is empty by the time the quiche comes out of the oven!
