Sweet Cheeks Winery 2017 Chardonnay

Sweet Cheeks Winery 2017 Chardonnay


This Chardonnay from Eugene's Sweet Cheeks Winery spent 17 months in the barrel, 43% of which was new French Oak, but it is the acidity that makes this one sing. It presents aromas of lime peel, crème fraiche and yellow apple. On the palate, a bold acidy alludes to lime, tart pineapple and nectarine skin before showing notes of melon rind and a bright finish with prominent minerality and saline.
