STEELBIRD UNOAKED CHARDONNAY 2011
Crafted to celebrate Smoking Loon’s 11th Vintage—our Steel Anniversary—our 2011 Smoking Loon “Steelbird” is a Chardonnay with a difference. We kicked the oak to the curb aging this wine for 8 months in 100% stainless steel. The wine opens with a lovely floral bouquet of orange blossom and honeysuckle, followed by notes of apricot, pear nectar and ruby red Grapefruit. This medium-bodied wine is bright and vibrant on the palate, with refreshing Flavors of Meyer lemon, Honeycrisp apple, and stone fruit with a touch of crème fraiche.
The grapes for Steelbird were picked early to ensure naturally elevated levels of acidity. A portion of the wine blend was given extended lees contact to impart a bit of structure and creaminess. The result is a stark departure from our regular Smoking Loon Chardonnay; less weight, higher acidity, pure fruit without any distractions, finishing very clean and crisp.
