Description
In a nutshell:
Smooth and beautifully balanced California Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, a refreshing lift, and a subtle touch of oak for a silky finish.
The lowdown:
The cool breezes and rolling fog from California's Monterey Bay create the perfect conditions for this bright, lively Chardonnay. Bursting with juicy orchard fruits like ripe pears and peaches, it also carries a subtle seaside salinity and a flinty edge that add real freshness. A hint of toasted nuts on the nose gives a nod to its careful oak aging, which adds just the right amount of creaminess without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. Smooth, balanced, and full of character, this is well made Chardonnay that lets its coastal origins shine through.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've been working with California growers for several years now with most of the range being sourced from fruit grown in the warm Lodi region. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
A crisp and versatile Chardonnay, it's delightful as a refreshing drink on its own, but also pairs beautifully with comforting dishes. Think roast chicken with all the trimmings, a creamy mushroom pasta, or a hearty fish pie.
Suitable for Vegans
