    Winemaker Notes

    This Cellar No. 8 Chardonnay exhibits distinctive baked apple character on the nose with notes of pear blossom and tropical fruit. Juicy flavors of white peach and mango are pronounced on the palate along with fresh pineapple and citrus flavors of lemon zest. Baking spice and buttery notes add complexity to the wine. Approximately half of the Chardonnay underwent malolactic fermentation which adds a creamy texture to the mouthfeel. The remaining half of the wine was stainless steel fermented in order to retain the bright fruit character. The combination of both techniques produces a balanced wine with a pleasing finish.

    Blend: 100% Chardonnay

    Introducing Cellar No.8 - robust, full-flavored red wines steeped in a rich heritage. It was back in 1881 when Italian immigrants founded the Asti Winery in Sonoma County. Applying methods and expertise from the old country, they created immortal reds and formed an entire community around which winemaking was it's soul.

    Today, Cellar No.8 pays tribute to the original location where these pioneers cellared their wines more than 100 years ago. At the same time, these flavorful reds reflect the lively character and hearty spirit of the people themselves.

    California’s most praised white wine, Chardonnay is also the state’s most planted white grape variety. Diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of wine styles.

    Chardonnay planted in the cooler, coastal zones takes on bright characteristics like lemon zest, key lime, green apple and wet flint. For this style, look to the chilly Sonoma Coast, Carneros, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Lucia Highlands and Edna Valley.

    The inland zones of California’s coast, such as the Russian River, Sonoma, Napa and Livermore Valleys maintain a more Goldilocks-esque climate where both styles go. Early picking retains acidity and creates a leaner style but leaving the grapes to hang creates an approachable Chardonnay, balancing richness and finesse.

    Chardonnay also plays a major part in the sparkling wine production of the Anderson Valley and Carneros.
