North Unity is one of our southern most vineyards, between Lime Lake and Little Traverse Lake. #5 was originally a cherry orchard that was replanted in 2009.

The fruit for this wine is selected from vineyards that have the desired clone of Chardonnay and show to be advanced in their trajectory for ripening that vintage. The clone is a Dijon clone, 96. It retains a moderate amount of acidity while ripening well by the back half of the season.

Fermented and aged in new French Oak barrels for 10 months, this high quality Chardonnay has a wonderful balance of fruit, oak, and a buttery mouth-feel.

Due to the boldness, this Barrel-Fermented Chardonnay pairs well seafood, grilled salmon, roasted chicken, lobster, and creamy pastas. If you are a vegetarian, try rich or starchy vegetables like corn, pumpkin, or squash.

100% Burgundian shaped french oak, 25% new
