Freemark abbey chardonnay

Country: USA, Napa Valley

Tasting Notes: We really love blending Chardonnay from different sites and clones to produce a classic expression of Napa Valley style. Our cooler sites in Carneros, near the San Francisco Bay, create beautiful citrus notes of lemon zest, lime leaf and mandarine with a fresh and vibrant texture. I was also able to work with some incredible "old vines" farther east that were planted in 1978. The wine produced from them is elegant with fresh pear and floral notes. Blending has created a palate that is a graceful balance of rich and creamy textures with vibrant acidity. Flavors of baked Gala apple, Bosc pear, hazelnut, vanilla and oak spices round out its appeal; making it well suited to enjoy on its own or pair well with a wide range of dishes.

Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

Pairing: This wine shows great complexity, creaminess, and elegance to compliment many foods.
