Chardonnay Sonoma Coast

    • Description :

      The grapes come from the Flocchini Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap where cool marine breezes clear the hillsides of morning fog. A cool and windy site with alluvial, extremely shallow, rocky clay soils provide both complexity and definition to grapes grown here. Our block of Chardonnay vines was planted to Wente Selection in the early 1980s from vines originating in Meursault and brought to California in the 1890s.
      Aging: Fermented and aged in French oak (10% new).

      Grape varieties :

      Chardonnay

      Alcohol :

      13.5%

      Tasting notes :

      The nose is dense and rich, infused with lemon zest, apricot and salty impression of oysters shells. On the palate, the floral and fruit notes are elegantly balanced, with a mouthwatering acidity supporting the intricate notes of jasmine, citrus and white and yellow pit fruits. It is a dense and precise wine, with fresh yellow fruit, mineral infused, lemony flavors. It finishes long with a terrific sapidity and lemon and mineral length.
