Floral Terranes 2022 Single-Vineyard Chardonnay – Long Island’s Answer to Montrachet

Origin & Craftsmanship
Sourced exclusively from the prized Matta Bella Vineyard in Southold, Long Island, this limited-release Chardonnay reflects Floral Terranes’ dedication to terroir-driven winemaking. Only the second vintage of their single-vineyard expression, this wine undergoes a distinctive 3-week skin contact fermentation—a technique rare for whites—imparting remarkable depth and texture.

Tasting Profile
A bold yet elegant white wine with layered flavors of ripe melon, warming spice, and a vibrant herbal lift. The signature pine-needle freshness adds a crisp, energetic finish, setting it apart from typical oaked Chardonnays. At 12.6% ABV, it balances richness with drinkability, perfect for those seeking complexity without heaviness.

Why Choose This Wine?
– Small-Batch Rarity: Fewer than 200 cases produced annually.
– Artisan Technique: Extended skin contact for structure rarely found in New York whites.
– Food Versatility: Pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy pastas, or aged cheeses.

A standout for collectors and enthusiasts exploring unique expressions of Long Island wine. Vintage variations may occur.
