Tangy kumquat, Rampur lime, stone fruit, and chamomile on the palate with vibrant acid and a long layered finish. Nice mineral notes. When sourcing Chardonnay fruit, we seek those Carneros vineyards that offer diversity in both aspects and clonal selection. The result is a complex and vibrant Chardonnay most reflective of the Carneros region. Appellation: Carneros, Napa. Terroir: Carneros is known for its loam and clay soils; a mixture of flat land and rolling hillside and has the reliable marine fog that rolls in at evening t and burns off in the mid-morning. After night harvesting, the Chardonnay fruit arrives at Saintsbury within the hour of its pick. The clusters are sorted and transferred directly to a gentle, whole cluster press. The settled juice then goes to barrel for fermentation. During its 8 months in French oak barrels, we employ bâtonnage to ensure a complex and well-balanced wine. The wine was bottled in June and finished with a Stelvin screwcap closure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saintsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975850889440,"sku":"107468","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/saintsbury-chardonnay-carneros_1.jpg?v=1663888688","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/saintsbury-chardonnay-carneros-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
