Tasting Note

The Chardonnay opens with an elegant, layered nose of ripe white peach, Meyer lemon, and golden apple, interwoven with hints of honeysuckle, vanilla bean, and lightly toasted brioche. Subtle mineral undertones and a whisper of flinty reduction add depth and intrigue. On the palate , the wine is rich yet precise, offering a seamless balance between creamy texture and vibrant acidity. Flavours of grilled pineapple, lemon curd, and crushed hazelnuts unfold over a core of bright citrus and orchard fruit. The influence of well integrated French oak is evident but never overpowering-contributing notes of buttered pastry, nutmeg, and a delicate saline edge.

Product Notes

Prototype California Chardonnay is a delightful representation of the classic varietal, showcasing the best of California’s sun-kissed vineyards. This wine boasts a brilliant pale straw color and aromas of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of vanilla and buttery oak. On the palate, flavors of crisp green apple and citrus are beautifully balanced by a rich creamy texture and a subtle touch of toasted almonds. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and elegance. Enjoy this exquisite Chardonnay as the perfect accompaniment to seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.
