2016 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California, USA

All of our wines from the 2016 vintage are incredibly floral and this Chardonnay is no exception. Aroma’s of Honeysuckle, jasmine, and apple blossom along with wispy notes of vanilla and lemon balm highlight a harmony of classic Chardonnay aromas. In the mouth green apple, candied orange peel, and baking spices anchor a panoply of vineyard flavors.

Seamlessly interwoven between each is fresh, bright acidity along with incredible minerality and depth that slowly build texture and weight, beautifully.

This is a totally food friendly wine that can be enjoyed on its own, or as a complement to any number of dishes – especially fresh seafood, shellfish or poultry. The creaminess of a crab salad or lobster roll will cut through the acidity and citrus notes of the wine beautifully.
