[SOLD-OUT] La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2018

North Monterey Chardonnay brings nice juicy fruit salads to the bottle. This is front of the queue if you're looking for bold, buttery Chardonnay!

"A lot of people ask me for a ripe and creamy Chardonnay that delivers a bit of Old Skool flavour. I’m often stuck for a recommendation, but this wine surely fits the bill. It has the peach, pineapple and cream, and silky buttery gloss of flavour, but keeps itself pretty trim all up, and balanced, and also sports some savoury toasty wood and spice. Finish is solid. You have folds of flavour, and ease of drinking. It does old school Chardonnay very nicely." - Wine Front

"This wine opens with layered aromas of jasmine, tropical fruit, fresh white peach and ripe citrus. On the palate, flavors of melon and ripe pear take center stage, framed by hints of mango, vanilla custard and wet river stone. A broad mouthfeel beautifully balances the juicy acidity.

Gently pressed to a mix of French and American oak barrels for fermentation. A small portion of the wine was racked to stainless steel tanks for fermentation which added an element of juicy acidity and aromatics to the finished wine. Lees were stirred monthly to increase complexity and mouthfeel. The finished wine was aged for six and a half months in oak barrels before final blending and bottling." - La Crema
