Rombauer Vineyard - Carneros - Chardonnay

Indulge in the rich and buttery taste of Rombauer Vineyard's Carneros Chardonnay. This wine is a true representation of the Carneros region, known for its cool climate and ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay grapes.

The Rombauer family has been producing wine for over 30 years, and their dedication to quality is evident in every sip of this Chardonnay. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected to ensure only the best make it into the bottle.

On the palate, this Chardonnay is full-bodied with notes of ripe apple, pear, and a hint of vanilla. The oak aging process gives it a smooth and creamy texture, making it the perfect wine to pair with rich and savory dishes like roasted chicken or creamy pasta.

Enjoy a glass of Rombauer Vineyard's Carneros Chardonnay on a warm summer evening, paired with a light salad or grilled seafood. Or, cozy up by the fire on a chilly winter night and savor the warmth and complexity of this delicious wine.

Pale yellow in colour. Rich, ripe aromas with mango & peach fruit before intense buttery/butterscotch notes take over, followed by milky/dairy touches. The palate is mouth-filling with warming alcohol at the finish. Quite crisp acidity is balanced by rich butterscotch notes that round out the end of the wine - it has quite a good length of flavour.

The 2019 Chardonnay delivers notes of peach cobbler, apple pie, honey-coated nuts and cedar chest with a touch of butterscotch. The medium-bodied palate is packed with oak and spice-laced apple-inspired flavours with a lively backbone and honeyed finish.
