Hogue Fruit Forward Semillon-Chardonnay 1999
Varietal: Other White Wine
Vineyard: The Hogue Cellars
Region: Yakima Valley, Washington
A delicious synergy is created when Semillon and Chardonnay become one wine. Both grapes like cool weather, their natural fruit flavors blend seamlessly, and neither variety needs barrel contact or malo-lactic fermentation to enhance its character. The Hogue Semillon-Chardonnay brings the best of both grapes to one bottle, offering melon, honey, lime and faint minty aromas and round, crisp flavors of fig, lime and honeysuckle, with just a hint of hay. This wine pairs well with any type of shellfish; steamed clams and crab are natural matches.
