Mouth coating, ripe tasting and practically sweet with its abundant fruit flavors, this wine is a show stopper. Butter, toast and lemon zest aromas lead to baked apples, poached pears and marzipan flavors that are thankfully backed by persistent acidity that keeps the palate refreshed.

The 2021 Far Niente Chardonnay is packed and alive on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of ripe apples, oaky notes, and hints of earth. Pair it with panko-crusted, pan-fried Petrale sole. (Tasted: August 22, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

Precise and aromatic, with notes of fresh ginger, lemon thyme and lemongrass to complement the core of lemon curd, yuzu, Honeycrisp apple and lime sherbet, while hints of toast and green tea linger on the finish.

Winemaker Notes

Richly aromatic with notes of white fig, and citrus blossom, this captivating Chardonnay slowly builds on the palate, progressing from silky notes of honeydew, nectarine, and lemon zest to a full finish supported by elegant, toasted oak. Crisp minerality and juicy acidity lift and support the generous fruit and provide the framework for graceful aging. This wine will continue to gain richness and complexity in the bottle and glass.
