California, (Carneros AVA)

100% Chardonnay

14.5% 

* Certified Sustainable

 

Rombauer Vineyards' 2021 Carneros Chardonnay is a hallmark of the rich, full-bodied California style. Sourced from sustainably farmed estate vineyards and select growers in the Carneros AVA, this wine benefits from the region's cool climate and clay soils, ideal for cultivating expressive Chardonnay grapes. The 2021 vintage marked the winery's 40th release of this iconic wine, celebrated for its consistent quality and distinctive character. 

 

TASTING NOTES: This Chardonnay opens with inviting aromas of ripe peach, citrus fruits, and pie crust. On the palate, it delivers concentrated flavors of apricot and citrus, supported by a rich, creamy mid-palate and balanced acidity. The finish is long, marked by hints of vanilla and a touch of spice. 

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: The wine's creamy texture and bright acidity make it a versatile companion to dishes like Fettuccine Alfredo, where its acidity cuts through the richness, and Strawberry Shortcake, complementing the dessert's fluffy texture and airy whipped cream.
