Big Paw Vineyard is nestled in a sun-drenched plot less than a mile from the Lake Michigan shoreline. Careful pruning and attentive vineyard management give these vinifera vines- pummeled by Great Lakes wind, rain, and snow- just the right amount of tender loving care to coax forth beautiful clusters of Chardonnay.
Stainless steel fermentation brings out the best in this Unwooded Chardonnay. Crisp, bright acidity provides the perfect counterpoint to the notes of soft golden apple and ripe Bosc pear, punctuated by a suggestion of lemon zest and subtle minerality.
