Apple, peach, and baking spice shape Intercept's 2018 Chardonnay. Barrel fermentation and aging on the lees add richness, while fresh acidity keeps the toasty oak finish in balance.
Serve it chilled with roast chicken, creamy mushroom pasta, or a mild cheese board. Let the glass warm slightly as you eat to bring the fruit and texture forward.
