This old-vine, Wente Clone Chardonnay is sourced from a hillside vineyard in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. A luscious bouquet of butterscotch and caramel, layered seamlessly with the brightnessof lemon zest and freshly picked apple. Nuances of baking spice add a cozy warmth, while subtle tropical undertones invite exploration. On the palate, this wine offers a lush and creamy texture, bursting with ripe tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya, and starfruit, balanced by the exotic sweetness of guava. A whisper of white pepper provides a surprising and delightful lift to the finish, creating a harmonious blend of richness and vibrancy.
