Product Notes

Wente Vineyards Single Vineyard Riva Ranch Chardonnay is a rich and complex white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of its single vineyard source. Located in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County, the Riva Ranch vineyard benefits from cool coastal breezes and well-drained alluvial soils, resulting in grapes with intense flavor and texture. This Chardonnay is full-bodied with ripe fruit flavors of apricot, peach, and apple, layered with hints of vanilla, butterscotch, and toasted oak. The wine is aged for nine months in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the already intricate flavor profile. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a memorable impression on the palate.

About the Winery

Known to be California’s longest operational family-owned wine estate, Wente Vineyards came into existence in 1883. Carl H Wente acquired the ownership of 47 hectares in the Livermore Valley in California during this year. By 1936, Herman Wente, the second-generation Wente family member, supported the establishment of the Wine Institute of California.
