Where the traditional Fume might best be matched to white fishes in lemony sauces, Adulteress will hold up to salmon or veal piccata. That small Sonoma County winery that folks seem to have trouble pronouncing is a classic example of a family owned, vineyard-driven operation. That means they are grapegrowers first, and that the fruit they cultivate tells them what kind of wine to make and how much of it. At big corporate wineries the marketing department decides how much Chardonnay they can sell and the winemakers have to seek out enough grapes from whatever source to satisfy that number. Very crisp citrus style featuring flavors of lemon and fresh pineapple.
Lacks oak presence for today's market.
It's a good food companion, but won't be winning any medals. Dry but not austere. Fruit lasts all the way to the very lengthy finish. Great with Asian or Cajun cuisines. Berry and crushed rose.
