£29.95 per bottle

100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes
This exuberant Chardonnay is bursting with vibrant aromas of stone-fruit, green apple, and slight sweet oak. Spending 10 months in both steel to retain the fresh fruit notes and French and American oak for a rich and full texture. The mid-palate if beautifully creamy with a soft finish balanced by a bright acidity to complement citrus and mineral flavours. Wonderful layers of complexity and a fresh more-ish finish.

Food
Pairs well with summer corn & wood grilled wild king salmon. Also delicious with soft cheeses such as a triple-crème cheese served with apricots.

Region
The fog influenced Napa Valley is home to many of California’s premium wineries. This famous valley around the natural springs of Oakville, includes the thin strip of soil known as the Rutherford Bench where some of the state’s most highly prized vineyards are planted. It is where great Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are grown and sublime Pinot Noirs from the southern Carneros end of the valley.
