Description:
Frog's Leap Chardonnay greets you with aromas of green apple and pear layered with delicate notes of honeysuckle. No heavy vanilla or buttery flavors here - rather your palette is greeted with clean, lively flavors of apricot and citrus laced with wet-stone and hazelnut. Balanced by the wine's acid and low alcohol, the mouth-feel stays bright and clear. Crisp and vibrant, this Chardonnay's elegant finish begs for another sip - making it a delightfully unexpected food-friendly wine
The making of this wine requires a light hand that allows its natural freshness and delicacy to emerge. Leapfrögmilch is low in alcohol, high in acidity, and balanced by a dab of residual sugar. A glass begins with high-note aromas of white flowers and stone fruit, while across the palate the wine reveals a variety of fruit flavors from grapefruit to bakes apple and pear. A touch of wet stone-punctuated by the wine's acidity-drives the long, clean finish. With its bright and lively mouth-feel and touch of honey sweetness, this wine is the perfect foil for take-out Thai or Vietnamese. (12 x 75 cl)
