Liberty Tavern Reserve Chardonnay
Liberty Tavern Reserve Chardonnay Grapes are from the original acreage planted in 1980. Deep roots bring mineral flavors to the surface. It is aged and fermented in classic French Allier oak sur lie. This wine is put though a secondary fermentation, which alters malatic acid like those found in an apple to lactic acid found in milk. It gives it a rich butter character with soft vanillin overtones.
