2008 MONTALUCE, CHARDONNAY, GEORGIA
Aromas of green apples, pear and lemon zest announce the arrival of Montaluces inaugural Chardonnay release. What follows are nuances of smoke, walnut and honeysuckle. On the palate, the soft texture is supported by ample acidity and persistent fruit flavors while picking up distinctive slate mineral notes. Exceptional balance and an impressive finish make this crisp white a table worthy candidate for poultry, fish and fresh summer salads. |

2008 MONTALUCE, VIOGNIER, GEORGIA
The Northern Rhones premier white grape has clearly found a home in North Georgia as evidenced by Montaluces first Viognier. The delicate perfume suggests ripe peaches, apricots and acacia. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly rich and nearly full-bodied, delivering flavors of tangerine, baked apples with nuances of sweet spice. Stylish and beautiful, try this fresh white with rich seafood dishes or as an aperitif. |

2008 MONTALUCE, RISATA, GEORGIA
Italian for laughter, the Montaluces Risata is surely no joking matter. A beautiful rose color leads to aromas that suggest watermelon and summer strawberries. On the palate flavors of cherries and raspberries dominate with hints of cranberries and savory Italian herbs. Enjoy this delicious summer quaffer on the patio with friends or with shellfish or salads. |
