The fog influenced Napa Valley is home to many of California’s premium wineries.

It is where great Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are grown and sublime Pinot Noirs from the southern Carneros end of the valley.

Tasting Note

This Chardonnay has comforting notes of baked apple pie with toasted oak notes of caramel and spice. It opens up to reveal mineral and fruity aromas including ripe Asian pear, dried apricot and white peach. A full-bodied wine with bright acidity, suffusing oak flavours show as vanilla and sweet-oak through to the palate. Finishes with a hint of lemon meringue pie.

Food Matching

This is a deliciously versatile wine. Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with chicken and grilled fish, creamy vegetable soups or a selection of your favourite cheeses.
