CARLOS

Color:

White

Vintage:

2007

pH:

3.17

ALC:

11.5%

 

Description:
Full bodied and dry with pineapple fruit sensations. Our chardonnay grape was slightly blended with it and we did the fermentation at very cold temperatures to near dryness, yet direct in a light fruit forward overtone which is very soothing to the taste.

 

Best Paired With:
A perfect pairing with a hand crafted Caribbean cuisine spiced to perfection. It is a great paring to meet all taste buds and menu selections. Enjoy!

Caribbean Spinach Cilantro Pasta

with Marinated Grilled Chicken

This is a great combination of bow-tie pasta

but kicked up with a little Caribbean spice.

A great pairing with the dry yet fruit forward

sensations of the Carlos Wine.
