La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay

La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: The La Rinconada is Sanford's reserve style Chardonnay. This wine spends a minimum of a year in barrel, usually in 100% new French oak. We then give this wine some extra time in bottle prior to release. It is not filtered and is known for its balance, richness and style. This is for those who appreciate Chardonnay at its finest. All single vineyard fruit, but harvested from several different blocks with several different clones, this wine is barrel-fermented to a total dryness in all-new French oak barrels, then aged 18 months. Bottled without filtration, the result is an intense wine with still-bright acid highlights showing lemon-vanilla spice, citrus and tropical fruit notes. This would be excellent paired with rice chicken dishes, and shellfish preparations with creamy sauces.
