Annika Vineyards, a joint venture between Hall of Fame golfer and Orlando resident Annika Sorenstam and Wente Vineyards, is proud to introduce its newest entry, a 2008 chardonnay, which will be available for purchase through its website in the spring of 2010. With the addition of this vintage, the Annika Vineyards portfolio is comprised of two ultra-premium, boutique wines that speak to Annika’s personal passion and wine style.

“This full-bodied Chardonnay has a great balance with apricot, peach, and tangerine interlaced throughout that lead to graham, vanilla, and ground spice flavors on the finish,” says winemaker Karl Wente. “With a perfectly weighted mouth feel, balanced by a refreshing acidity to cleanse the palate, this wine is both complex and crisp. The chardonnay was barrel fermented in a combination of French, American, Eastern European, and neutral oak and was aged for 10 months.”
