2015 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay

The beautiful yellow color with a glint of green is immediately alluring. No matter what vintage it is, the Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay has a distinctive profile. The nose always has elements of crushed rocks and mineral with a supporting role of fresh pineapple and tropical fruit aromas. Notes of yellow apple and fresh nutmeg round out the rich aromatic profile. The complexion of the wine is all about minerals and has a saline-like quality that seems to saturate the entire palate. Apple and pear flavors lurk in the background of this highly focused and expressive, terroir-driven wine. This is a perfect match with a lobster roll, or lobster with a chestnut sauce.
