Team #7 Renata Saunders
Wine name: Belle Île
Shelf talker: An off-dry white wine with powerful aromatics and medium acidity. Great for dinner parties or a solo night. This wine goes great with a variety of dishes such as chicken, fish, seafood and pork or can be served with a cheese course. This wine pairs well with a nice creamy sauce. Tasting notes include lime peel, peach pit and green bell peppers that hit the palate.
This wine was made with a blend of a Chardonnay aged in new oak and a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (60%) and Chardonnay (40%). I went with 2 parts (80%) of the Chardonnay aged in new oak and 1 part (20%) of the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay blend.
The grapes were picked from the North Fork of Long Island.
My wine was chosen to be served in the Janet Lefler Dining Room.
