Experience
A slightly bigger bodied Chardonnay that still retains a streak of lean acidity, the producers of this wine, Big Fish, describe this as a wine that is graceful and vibrant but not the biggest fish in the ocean - just like the Mahi Mahi on the label. We agree - this has enough complexity to satisfy real Chard fans, but will please anyone looking for a great summer white.
Winery
Big Fish Wines became reality in 2005 when Hunter and Suzanne Landers realized a dream of one day making and sharing wine with friends and family. Hunter learned how to make wine in small lots starting with a Santa Barbara County Syrah. The wine was so well received that it became more than a hobby, and they expanded to making larger quantities and other varietals. The name "Big Fish" comes from the adventures that Hunter and Suzanne have shared together in oceans across the world.
