The palate bursts with lime and green apple flavours that bring a young freshness and racy acidity. These mingle beautifully with rounder warm stone fruit notes, giving it a lifted character and a wet stone finish. Ceviche, crab cakes topped with apple and fennel slaw, salmon sashimi, chicken picatta or summer salads with citrus vinaigrette are some of our favourite pairings.
This exceptionally balanced Chardonnay has real depth and grip, married to incisive acidity and well-defined, complex flavours of citrus, apricot and brioche. Full-bodied yet refined and mineral, this is a true reflection of its coastal origins.
“The wine shows beautiful floral notes intermixed with citrus and honeysuckle, has great natural acidity and a hint of wet rocks giving it minerality and crisp, medium-bodied, nicely concentrated flavors. It reminded me of a premier cru Chablis.” – 91 points, The Wine Advocate, October 2015
Forget the heavy oak and butter – we want to be able to taste great fruit! This Chardonnay is full of yellow apples, fresh pear and hints of coconut and tropical fruit – really bright and refreshing.
This unoaked Chardonnay offers aromas of ripe pear and honeydew melon with floral notes. On the palate, the wine opens with bright citrus and tropical flavours, leading to a round mouthfeel balanced by fresh acidity, and a long finish.
Brimming with ripe orchard fruits of apple, pear and peach, and hints of vanilla, spice and butter. It is very well balanced with alluring fruit aromas, a refreshing acidity and lingering stony minerality.
Lucia Chardonnay possesses lively aromas of citrus oil, orange peel, and golden delicious apple coupled with beautiful green mango notes. This
cuvée combines a variety of Wente Chardonnay clonal selections to bring concentration and texture. The high-altitude blocks of Pisoni Vineyards
create a phenolic structure and the vines at the Soberanes vineyard give a refreshing, bright acidity on the palate. This is a wonderful chardonnay
to enjoy now that will also cellar well for several years.
A restrained style of California Chardonnay, with pear and citrus fruit backed up with the slightest hint of barrel-derived spice. Quite firm and structured on the palate, made in an elegant, food-friendly style.
