About the wine
Angels rescued some of the oldest Chardonnay vines in Clarksburg
- David Akiyoshi tastes fruit from over 8,000 acres of Chardonnay every year and is the preemminent expert on Clarksburg Chardonnay.
- One of the oldest Chardonnay vineyards in the region was on the verge of being ripped out of the ground and destroyed because it didn't produce as much fruit as surrounding plots, but Angels rescued these vines and gave David the funding to focus on quality before quantity.
- Fragrant and bright, this is the most complex Chardonnay you can find at this price. Savor every sip and you might just make this your everyday white wine.
