Made in the Bonterra style of exceedingly pure fruit, this Chardonnay brims with delicious tangerine and pears. It has pretty acids that make it feel clean in the mouth. A delightful wine made even richer with a touch of new oak.

An initial impression of rich, buttery cream turns to aromas of honey and toasted almonds, quickly followed by pineapple, lemon and crème brulee. is wine has a refreshing, bright, clean minerality with a...


Winemaker's Notes:

An initial impression of rich, buttery cream quickly turns to aromas of honey and lightly toasted almonds, followed quickly by tropical aromas of pineapple and citrusy lemon. The wine is refreshing on the palate with a vibrant tartness and lemon zest that is absolutely Bonterra Chardonnay.
