Chardonnay, Rancho Santa Rosa

Chardonnay, Rancho Santa Rosa Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: Rancho Santa Rosa is home to 103 acres, 25 blocks, and four different clones of Chardonnay Wente, 4, 76 and 96. Each block of Chardonnay is vinified and kept separate in the cellar for blending purposes. Employing classical techniques the grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented and aged for approximately 11 months in French oak casks. Well-balanced, the wine exudes aromas of green apple, pear, grapefruit, tangerine, butterscotch and a mineral note of struck stone. Replete with crisp acidity the wine is fruit driven, finishing long and clean.
