Nose
Bright aromas of pear,
green apple, and tropical fruit are followed by notes of
honeysuckle, and vanilla.
Palate
Displaying a crisp mouthfeel,
this wine displays a nicely balanced acidity and
culminates with a smooth finish that makes it the
perfect pairing with a variety of dishes.
Growing Conditions
The 2013 vintage across California was one of the
earliest harvested vintages in years. A warm spring lead
to early bud break and created the perfect environment
for flowering and fruit set. With warm days and cool
nights, grape growers were able to maintain ideal acid
levels with optimum, bright fruit flavors.
Winemaking
Our 2013 R Collection Chardonnay is an exquisitely
balanced and crisp Chardonnay primarily fermented in
stainless steel tanks, providing a nice alternative to the
heavier oaked Chardonnays.
Food Pairing
Try it with
grilled shellfish or spicy Thai cuisine.
