We begin to see bud swell the week of April 22nd. The cool and wet weather persisted pushing Bud Break to the week of May 10th. Record breaking cool temperature and precipitation continued throughout June and flowering was finally observed the week of July 8th. The remainder of the Summer delivered more average heat and light, but we still entered Veraison, the start of ripening, the week of September 13th, about 3-4 weeks behind schedule. Fortunately, September was one of the warmest on record and favorable conditions persisted throughout October, allowing healthy grapes to hang on the vine until early November.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTastings Notes: This wine reveals a core of minerality with pear and hints of cinnamon, biscuit, crème soda, and tropical fruit. Smooth and round on the palate, with velvet texture and lively acidity. The long finish lingers with persistent mineral, tropical fruit, and subtle baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alloro Vineyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948768456751,"sku":"O1EE319000CHS","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/alloro-estate-chardonnay-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
