DeLoach, Chardonnay, Heritage Reserve, California – USA, White, 75cl

Description Wine Producer: Deloach Country: U.S.A. Region: California Production Area: Russian River Valley (Sonoma County) Grape Type: Chardonnay Colour: White   Vineyard: Vineyard: At DeLoach Vineyards we strive to produce distinctive wines that spotlight unique terroirs in a socially and environmentally responsible way, practicing sustainable viticulture and utilizing minimally intrusive winemaking techniques. The grapes were carefully chosen from warm, sunny vineyards sustainably farmed from the Delta Region of California.                      Soil: Clay, Sandy and loam.   Wine – Making Process: We chose to ferment the grapes for this luscious wine in stainless steel to preserve the natural crispness and fresh fruit flavors. The winemakers then blended in a small amount of richly textured barrel-fermented Chardonnay to attain the beautiful balance of this approachable, fruit-forward wine that is appealing both at the dinner table and al fresco.   Features: The nose is fresh with aromas of honeysuckle and citrus fruit. This medium bodied California Chardonnay is food-friendly with bright acidity and creaminess on the palate. Ripe pear, lemon curd, and vanilla flavors lead to a clean and lively finish.   Pairings: Try it with steamed fish accompanied by spring vegetables or a light crab salad. Serving Temperature: 10°C – 12°C Actual Alcoholic Strength by Volume: 13,5% vol. (varies depending on vintage). Allergens: Contains sulphites.
