Winemaker Notes
Oxford Landing Chardonnay is a pale straw green color. Aromas of yellow peach and ripe nectarine with hints of wild honey and lemon myrtle are supported by freshly cut hay and cinnamon spice. Layers of flavor build across the palate reflecting the fruit, natural fermentation and ageing on yeast lees. The slightest hint of oak comes through on the palate as cinnamon and spice, highlighting the complexity derived from barrel matured reserve wine. Balanced acidity gives the wine a refreshing finish.
Enjoy with prawn and preserved lemon cous cous salad or chickpea, avocado, coriander and lime salad.
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.
