Sequoia Grove Carneros Chardonnay

Sequoia Grove Carneros Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: We hope you enjoy the art on our new label and the art inside the bottle! Pale yellow in color with aromas of fresh lemons, tangerines, and pleasing vanilla oak characters, this lovely Chardonnay has a creamy weight with a hint of citrus peel on the palate as well, giving it a fresh acid finish.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
