Fifth Note Cellars 2018 Chardonnay-Viognier Blend California

2018 California Chardonnay - Viognier

Fifth Note Cellars offers a delightful 2018 Chardonnay-Viognier Blend from California. This harmonious white wine blend presents a medium-full body, balanced with a moderate acidity that uplifts the fruit-forward notes. The Chardonnay-Viognier combination results in a pleasing fruit intensity, creating a well-rounded and vibrant palate. The dryness of this blend enhances its versatile nature, making it a lovely choice for various occasions or dishes.

Tasting notes:

A well-rounded texture with firm yet not overpowering acidity makes this wine a beautiful option for all white wine lovers. Chardonnay from foggy Russian River Valley brings a classic palate of stone fruit and orange blossom flavors with warm rich brioche aromas, while Viognier from warmer Lake County offers tropical citrus, mango, and honeysuckle notes. Pair with foods featuring creamy palettes, light herbs, or garlicy flavors!

Region:

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
