Candia Vineyards Chardonnay

[Innkeeper]

N/V Candia (NH) Vineyards, American, Chardonnay ($Gift). Alcohol level: 13%. We’ve learned a little more about this winery. There was an article about them in a wine column in the local paper. Their total acreage is 1(!). It is composed of a variety of hybrids. They get their Vinifera grapes from CA and elsewhere in the U.S. They make their proprietary bottlings from the mix coming out of their acre and whatever they import to make a decent wine; thus their silence about what is in the n/v mystery wines we’ve previously posted on.

The Chardonnay was a nice wine made with grapes from California. It gave pears and peaches on nose and upfront. There was more fruit, some complexity and a touch of wood in the middle. The finish was pleasant.

We matched it with Chicken Pot Pie, and it made a nice Sunday supper.
