Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay
SKU: ZZSONO0002
$27.49Price
This wine is a classic, elegantly structured Chardonnay. Grapes were harvested starting in the early mornings and then cooled down to 50-55F to preserve the fruit's fresh flavours and natural acidity. After hand sorting, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed to avoid bitter tannins from the skins and grape seeds. The cool, golden-green, free-run juice was then settled naturally in tanks for a few days before heading to French oak barrels and stainless steel for fermentation. The wine was then aged sur-lies in French oak. Barrels were a mixture of new and 1 year old through neutral oak.

California, USATASTING NOTES
On the nose, you will detect loads of nectarine, stone fruit, white peach, melon and oak spice accented with hints of vanilla, toasted nuts, a touch of butterscotch and light caramel with a subtle clove spice undertone. This wine has the distinctive Sonoma-Cutrer balance between elegance and richness for a medium-bodied, mouth-filling wine. The creamy texture of this wine offers flavours of ripe pear and peach that is balanced with vibrant acidity. There is a lot of finesse to the long, silky finish highlighted with barrel spice notes.FOOD PAIRING
