Fest Chardonnay
Chilean Central Valley Chardonnay, dry, crisp, and honestly priced.
The story behind Fest
Fest Chardonnay comes out of Chile's Central Valley, the long fertile stretch between the Andes and the coastal range where most of the country's everyday wine is grown. The grapes are 100% Chardonnay, given a cold soak at 50 degrees for 48 to 72 hours, then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel for 15 to 20 days. About 10% goes through malolactic fermentation for a creamier mid palate, and a portion rests three months in French and American oak before blending and three more months in tank.
We have poured this kind of value Chilean Chardonnay across our Commack counter for years. It is dry, 13% ABV, and built to be drunk young and cold.
