The Chardonnay that we tried was one of our 375 mL bottles. Good for two people. As we swirled the glass, I detected the aroma of orange blossoms. The flavor was also of oranges with a decided acidic kick at the finish.

Tasting Our 2019 Chardonnay
Yesterday, we decided to taste our 2019 Chardonnay fermented with the X16 yeast that we bottled on December 12, 2020.
It's almost a month since we bottled it and my husband had the perfect meal to pair with the wine. He made a wild sockeye salmon with the Florida Seasoned Pepper from Penzeys. We had a side of green beans to go with the dinner.

This is interesting because the titratable acids are only at 7.3 g/L, although the pH is 3.07. We'll taste this wine again after it has a few more months of bottle aging to see if the acids marry with the other components of the wine. All in all, we thought that it was our best attempt at making Chardonnay so far.
