Etude Chardonnay Grace Benoist Vineyard 2009
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Etude Chardonnay is 100 percent Grace Benoist Vineyard fruit grown in the northwest corner of the Carneros appellation. A mix of clones and one heirloom selection go into this exciting chardonnay that mixes 10 percent tank fermented juice with 90 percent old barrel ferment juice. The process permits a vineyard driven style reflected in its cool lemony aromas flecked with pears honey melons and a rich lees character. The palate is mix of green apple and guava fruit with a pinch of passion fruit. Complex aromatic delicious white wine you can serve with most simply prepared seafood dishes.Tasted: 22 November 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| ON | $50.00 | 750ml | |
