Winemaker Notes

Pale straw green in colour. Aromas of fresh cut peach flesh with accents of wild honey and hints of lemon myrtle. These are supported by fig and cinnamon spice complexities from wild fermentation. Layers of flavour build across the medium-bodied palate and reflect not only the fruit but the use of wild fermentation and ageing on yeast lees. On the palate the slightest hint of oak comes through as a hint of cinnamon and spice, highlighting the complexity derived from barrel matured reserve wine. Balanced acidity gives the wine thrust through to the refreshing finish.

Deliciously accompanies gnocchi with sauteed broad beans, feta, lemon, and sage.

    Very pretty sliced apple and honey character. Medium body with lovely density of fruit and a flavorful finish. Stone and gun metal aftertaste. Excellent value. Screw cap.

    A delicious wine that is excellent for the palate and kind to the pocketbook, the 2016 Oxford Landing Estates Chardonnay shows up with ripe apple flavors that last pleasingly on the palate. The wine's fresh and crisp aftertaste make it a versatile meal wine. (Tasted: September 21, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
