Adele Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Varietal: Chardonnay
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: USA
Rich White Wines
The Adele Chardonnay is fermented two thirds in new and used French oak barrels, while the rest is fermented in stainless steel to maintain the bright freshness of the fruit. During its 8 month élèvage, the wine sees some bâtonnage, adding richness and texture. The result is a full-bodied but not overblown crowd-pleaser.
"Adele is our premium private label. One of the things that comes along with working with good growers is the opportunity to take advantage of those connections. That way we can source fruit from well-known vineyards made, in some cases, by our own winemakers and in some cases by others. These are limited run wines, never more than around 1,500 cases, often half that amount in total production.
Staff Review:
This Chardonnay is perfectly well balanced; a true triple-threat. Citrus tones give way to a nice bite of oak with just a hint of butter - give it a shot!
