Chardonnay

Chardonnay is a versatile grape with a style for everyone. Our 2018 vintage is a delicious fusion of California’s climatic influences and our winemaker’s techniques with its refreshing acidity, toasted nuttiness, and fresh fruit flavors.

Cool temperatures preserve natural acidity, while the long, warm growing season allows Chardonnay’s varietal flavors to progress from citrus to stone fruit. This wine was aged in oak to create complexity beyond fruit flavor, adding delightful toasty elements and balance. Curioture always brings out our inner “wine geek,” and we’re excited for you to discover yours. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more ab ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of Sonoma County

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

TASTING NOTES:

Brioche

Almond

Green Apple

Aromas of toasted almonds and brioche allude to oak influence. On the palate, sharp acidity dissects the Chardonnay’s creamy, full body, which brings the mouthfeel into perfect balance. Green mango, white peach, and tart apple flavors create an upbeat fruitiness without becoming overly sweet.
