🏰news | features + short tasting note 【A Chardonnay defined by its unique rocky soil, offering a distinct mineral core of rock dust.】 The 2017 vintage in California was marked by a challenging growing season with record winter rainfall followed by intense heat spikes in summer. Despite these hurdles, winemakers employed careful strategies, resulting in strong quality for Chardonnay, with good flavor development and reduced yields. This wine offers a nose of white peach, toasted almond or marshmallow, and ripe pear, with plenty of weight, length, and richness. Its opulence is natural, not overtly showy, and it is characterized by a distinct mineral core of rock dust. Additional notes include green candy apple, creamy lemon, tropical citrus, seashell, lemon zest, lemongrass, subtle flowers, melons, and stone fruit, with hints of oak, butter, and vanilla. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This versatile Chardonnay is excellent with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, rich seafood, or soft cheeses.
