Vineyards
The grapes for this Argentinean Chardonnay are sourced from the Uxmal and Adrianna vineyards in the Agrelo District of Mendoza, as well as in the Domingo vineyard in the Tupungato District. The Agrelo District (3100 ft.) and the Tupungato District (5000 ft.) enjoy warm sunny days that allow for full and even ripening, and cool nights for an excellent balance between acidity and sugar. All year round the vineyard is managed with modern pruning and trellising techniques. Vertical trellising, pre-harvest cluster removal, vine-to-vine canopy management and controlled irrigation are used in the vineyards to grow Chardonnay fruit that gives opulent flavors.

Tasting Notes
The nose offers white stone and citrus fruit aromas interwoven with light notes of vanilla and slate. The mouthfeel is full and clean with pear and fig fruit flavors and a touch of sweet spice. The finish is fresh yet persistent, with bright, crisp acidity.

Bright aromas of freshly picked fruits. Loads of apple with a nutty core, vanilla and wonderful oak nuances. A refreshingly light palate with fresh apples, hints of pear and pineapple, hearty oak and long vanilla, smooth finish. Wonderfully balanaced and packed with rich flavors.

A brilliant yellow-straw color and a fresh, fruity pear and apple nose that shows classic Chardonnay character. In the mouth the wine is crisp and clearn with bright acidity that lends a sense of freshness through the finish. Made without the use of oak. Suitable both with food and without.

This wine showcases the generous Chardonnay fruit from Napa Valley vineyards. Rich, ripe and exotic, it strikes a balance of ripe Napa Valley fruit with nuances of sweet oak from 100% barrel fermentation and extended barrel age. Use of wild yeast in a portion of the fermentation and sur lie aging adds layers of complexity. Notes of peach, pear and apple combined with hints of tropical aromas and toasted nuttiness. Lively and lengthy on the palate with a great body and structure. Mineral notes linger and the finish is crisp, creamy and clean with apple and citrus flavors.

The wine starts with apricot, citrus, and hazelnut scented aromas. Packed with ultra-ripe flavors of pear, peach, and nectarine, the wine maintains a lush silky texture throughout that continues into an added dimension of fig and vanilla. A very firm core of acidity suspends the mouthwatering mineral finish for extra length. This is a robust Chardonnay that will pair with a substantial range of foods and satisfy the palates of most red wine drinkers.

This is an excellent wine to pair with heavier fish like salmon or swordfish. The acid will help cut through the oils and the stone fruit character will enhance the rich flavors of the fish.

Winemaker's Comments
Summer melon notes of cantaloupe and honeydew with subtle hints of buttery vanilla unleash in the nose with one swirl. A beautifully balanced and creamy entry filled with lemon, orange zest and floral notes leads the palate into layers of stone fruits, hints of mineral and undertones of smoky oak.Typical of most Chardonnays from the cool Carneros region, there is good acidity to this wine that lures the palate away from the weight, leaving the finish with a refreshing citrus character.

Cellar Notes
The 2004 Chardonnay once again delivers beautiful, exotic, rich fruit aromas and flavors with crisp, clean acidity you expect to find in fruit from the Carneros region. Early summer brought mild and dry conditions that led to a late August/early September hot spell with hot, dry off-shore evening winds, bringing harvest quickly upon us.We source our Carneros Chardonnay from two vineyards – Stanly Ranch and the highly acclaimed Abbott's Vineyard. Hand-harvested fruit arrived for whole berry pressing prior to fermentation.We employ traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques of barrel fermentation and barrel aging for approximately 10 months in 100% French oak (35% new).The wine was aged on the lees, stirred monthly to give creamy, full-bodied flavors and encouraged to undergo malolactic fermentation – which it did at 100%.

A beautiful Chardonnay produced from the south of France. Ripe tropical and mineral aromas; medium to full bodied with layers of ripe apple; and pears. Very crisp and elegant finish.

White peach and crisp apple aromas combine with hints of hazelnut and vanilla in this versatile wine. This clean Chardonnay sees no oak at all only displaying the genuine flavors of the grape. Perfect for just sipping after work or pair it up with your favorite 20 minute “bistro” meal!

Just like the Fume Blanc Grgich organically and Biodynamically grew this Chardonnay at their cool American Canyon and Carneros vineyards, where the grapes developed complex flavors while maintaining a pleasing natural acidity. The Chardonnay does not undergo malolactic fermentation, which preserves the wine’s crispness and acidity to balance its concentrated fruit. This elegant Chardonnay has luscious aromas of baked pear, lychee nuts and wild honey. The wine spent 10 months in French Oak…60% neutral barrels, 30% new barrels and 10% in 900gallon casks.

This blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon and 10% Muscadelle is fresh and delicate with aromas of citrus and pear.  On the palate these blend with soft spice notes from the Muscadelle.  The abundance of fruit lingers on the finish yielding a remarkably versatile wine that will pair well with a wide range of light dishes or perfect by itself!

The grapes were organically and Biodynamically grown on the cool American Canyon and Carneros vineyards, not far from the San Francisco Bay. In the glass, the wine offers a whiff of the tropics with kiwi, grapefruit, pineapple and a hint of minerality. On the tongue, this full-bodied wine has a crisp, refreshing texture and a long finish. This versatile, flavorful white wine is a great companion to a wide variety of food flavors and textures. 80% of the wine spent 5 months in neutral French oak barrels, 14 in stainless steel and 6% in 900gallon casks….the final blend is perfect!

This is a really cool blend of 50% Verdelho, 25% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc....all the fixins for a great summer white!  It has excellent balance of fruit and acidity....from the blast of bright orange rind from the Verdelho to the richness and honeyed character of the Semillon to the racy and steely kiss from the Sauvignon Blanc. It's a beauty for those of you looking for an interesting alternative white wine.  Give it a shot!

LUGANA D.O.C. was one of the very first Italian wines in 1967 to be recognized with Controlled Designation of Origin. Its disciplinary of production establishes that 90 percent of grapes for Lugana must come from Trebbiano grapes, and no aromatic grapes are allowed into its wine-making.

The color of this white wine is pale yellow with slight greenish shadows which come to golden after aging. Its perfume has bright notes of peach and green apple and blended together with a touch of oak giving it a subtle cinnamon and lively finish. Pretty wine with complex character!

The absolute lightest shade of gold, this lively Prosecco tickles the nose with bitter apple, honeydew melon, lychee fruit and stone fruit, with the emphasis on white peach. A touch of sweetness in the mouth is offset by enough tartness to achieve overall harmony.

Same Prosecco that's in the larger bottles, but these are absolutely perfect for a picnic, the pool, beach or boat… ahh, summertime and Prosecco! What more do you need!

Portugal 's best loved Vinho Verde.  Refreshing, crisp with a tingly sparkle taste of apple tartness from the cool and luscious Vinho Verde DOC region north eastern Portugal , Fâmega Vinho Verde has a delicate citrus flavor like the fragrance of a Summer garden.

Pleasant and mellow, this young white wine will be the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of seafood, salads, mild cheeses, as an aperitif or just by itself.  The alcohol content of Fãmega is 9.5% which makes it the ideal natural low calorie white wine.  The grapes used in making Fâmega are 100% Alvarinho (same as the Albarino grape over the border in northwest Spain.

 

This is delicious, light, juicy wine with a slight sparkling fizz that makes it distinctive. The grape varietal used here is Alvarinho from the town of Moncao , on the Spanish border. I particularly like the bracing acidity in this wine that wraps around flavors of ripe peach and crisp red apple. Ideal with creamy cheeses like brie or goats-milk chevre. Tired of those oaky Chardonnays… one taste and you'll make this your new favorite white!

The Italians call it Pinot Grigio. The French call it Pinot Gris. In the United States , folks are calling it the hottest emerging wine varietal since Merlot. The thing is there are so many styles: from lean and racy to sweeter and rich. The Ca' de' Rocchi is a perfect PG….it's all about balance! This one is minerally with a stoney character that blends so nicely with the lemon zest and slight banana nose. It doesn't see any oak at all and makes a point to let your palate know that with its clean acidity and freshness. It goes great with clams, mussels, white fish, poultry, salads and for just hanging out with friends.

Rich aromas of white peach, honeydew melon, and fig are the stars of this wine, with notes of honey and spice adding both weight and interest. The flavors of peach, melon, and fig are melded together in a rich core, while elements of spice and citrus give focus. The result is a mouthfeel that is rich and broad without being heavy. It is a Pinot Gris that reflects the legacy of the land while exquisitely capturing the terroir of the Russian River Valley.

This wine originated on the 17-acre, family-owned Maso Canali Vineyard in Trentino. The Canali family has lived on the estate for 500 years, and has been planting Pinot Grigio grapes there since 1893. The fruit for the 2004 vintage was drawn from this estate and other carefully chosen sources in the premier growing region of Trentino.

To intensify the tropical characteristics of the wine, 7% of the juice is from late-harvest Pinot Grigio grapes that were dried on racks, vinified separately, and added to the final blend. This time-intensive “Passito” process is employed to give the wine its unique body and tropical fruit flavor. Finally, the wine was cold stabilized, filtered and bottled to retain the crisp, fruity characteristics of the wine and to avoid malolactic fermentation. The nose delivers peach and a surprising hint of honey, and the wine is characterized by enticing tropical flavors of apricot, lemon and pineapple, with floral notes. It is well-balanced with a lovely, persistent finish.

A great buy in Grigio. Don't be put off by a slight hint of copper in the wine's color. The aromas and flavors are fresh and filled with apples, pears and almonds. Picks up hints of anise on the surprisingly persistent finish.

NOTES: Clean and shimmering light gold in color. The nose features citrus fruit such as mandarin orange and white fruit such as pear and peach, plus a more exotic note of cherimoyas and a subtle hint of green chilies. The palate follows true to its aromatic nose. Ripe fruit and well-integrated acidity lend a well-rounded yet crisp mouthfeel. Its most notable characteristic is the minerality so typical of Limarí that lends structure and carries through on the finish with mandarin and peach-banana fruit.

WINEMAKING
Chardonnay: The grapes were hand picked in the third week of March and gently pressed. The juice remained on the skins for several hours and was then left to decant to clean before fermentation. Selected yeasts were then added to bring out the natural aromas of the grapes, and alcoholic fermentation was conducted very slowly, at 12°–16ºC (54°–61°F). All of the wine finished fermenting in oak barrels, and a small percentage underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in barrels on its fine lees for 10 months.
