Nielson by Byron Chardonnay 2015
Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesMuch like last year, but maybe even better, this wine opens with bright, crisp tropical fruit before bursting with ripe orange, mineral, apple skin, spicy lees and intense peach flavours. So delicious to drink and ready to take on any spicy savoury chicken or sushi dishes. Nielson by Byron is the next iteration of Byron Wines. To honour the area’s first true pioneer, Uriel Nielson, who planted the first commercial vineyard in 1964, the new Byron Winery will focus on small-lot single-vineyard pinot noir and chardonnay from top vineyards including Rita’s Crown, Bien Nacido and La Encantada.Tasted: 07 February 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $28.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Summit Fine Wines |
