Robert Mondavi California Buttery Chardonnay 2024 14.5% 750ml

A refined yet approachable Buttery Chardonnay, this wine celebrates the lush fruit character of California and craftsmanship of our winemaking team.

SOURCING & WINEMAKING

This Chardonnay is crafted from select vineyards along Coastal California, where cooling Pacific breezes and diverse soils produce wines with vibrant fruit and balance. A significant portion of the blend comes from Mendocino County, known for its cooler climate and gravelly soils that balance tropical ripeness and structure, while some Monterey fruit join the blend to add lively acidity. The result is a wine that captures the purity and finesse of Coastal California, with Mendocino and Monterey's quality at its core. Aged six months sur lie in 40% new French and American oak (50/50), this Chardonnay was fermented in both stainless steel tanks and barrels and underwent full malolactic fermentation.

AROMAS

This Buttery Chardonnay opens with enticing aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and apple, accented by delicate notes of sweet cream and a touch of toasted spice. The bouquet is expressive and inviting, capturing the signature vibrancy of California's sun-kissed fruit along with subtle undertones of vanilla and freshly baked brioche.

FLAVORS

On the palate, our Buttery Chardonnay delivers a luxuriously creamy texture with flavors of juicy apricot, crisp apple, and whispers of candied pineapple. Layers of custard and graham cracker mingle seamlessly with gentle oak-derived spice, delivering richness and depth. Each sip reveals a harmonious balance of fruit and rich mouthfeel, framed by lively natural acidity. Its supple, lingering finish leaves subtle traces of fruit and warm oak spice.
