Winemaking notes. Unlike other Casa Larga Chardonnays, Vineyard Hill Chardonnay is unoaked: it is fermented and aged in stainless steel and does not undergo malolactic fermentation. This keeps tannins at a low level and preserves the naturally clean, crisp and fruit-forward expression of the variety.

Enjoying our Vineyard Hill Chardonnay

Availability. At our winery in Fairport; at selected wine and spirits stores and restaurants in New York State; at CasaLarga.com for direct shipment to residences and workplaces in 37 states.

Accolades:
91 Points, “Highly Recommended”, and Gold
Medal, 2017 Beverage Testing Institute World
Wine Championships (tastings.com)

Aging: Store at cool temperature (55º-60ºF) and out of direct sunlight. This wine, like most unoaked white wines, was produced to be enjoyed while young and fresh, i.e. within roughly 2 years of bottling.

Serving temperature: 55º-60ºF

Tasting notes. Vineyard Hill Chardonnay is a medium-dry unoaked wine with lovely fruit aromas, a touch of minerality and a crisp finish.

Pairing suggestions. Salmon, sushi and other simply prepared fish and shellfish, cured and smoked meats, saltier cheeses.
