Liberty Tavern Reserve Chardonnay | Buy Here

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 malic acid like that found in an apple to lactic acid found in milk. It gives it a rich butter character with soft vanillin overtones.

As the only Maryland-grown Gewurztraminer in the state, it continues to shine for us in competitions.
