Growing Conditions

The Chardonnay for this wine grows on our Matheson and Swede farms. These farms are 1.5 miles east and west of Lake Michigan keeping our temps a bit cooler in the summer and warmer through the fall. The slopes are mostly east facing resulting in early morning drying and heating of the grapes.

Nose

Green apple with hints of lemon

Palate

Fruit forward with ripe fruit on the mid-palate and a bright acidity to bring it altogether.

A Lake Michigan staple - white fish. Also a Verterra favorite with a nice salmon sashimi or piece of toro where the acidity refreshes the palate.
