Chardonnay
SKU: DLCHOF2072
At DeLoach Vineyards we strive to produce distinctive wines that highlight unique terroirs in a socially and environmentally responsible way, practicing sustainable viticulture and minimally intrusive winemaking techniques. The 2019 vintage of Our Finest Selection Chardonnay is a partnership amongst the best vineyards within the Russian River Valley. The cool, foggy Russian River Valley climate enables our grapes to develop ideal characteristics that contribute to this distinctive Chardonnay.
Crisp green apple and wet stone aromas leap from the glass with a touch of floral. This rich, full-bodied Chardonnay has flavors of baked pear, nutmeg, and clove. A touch of citrus lingers on the finish with a fresh mineral element.
