WINE DESCRIPTION
Alias Chardonnay is made from grapes that are sourced mostly from their estate vineyards in Monterey. Wines are fermented, then around half the wine undergoes a process called malolactic conversion, which helps soften the acidity and contributes notes of freshly churned butter. The wine is matured in a proportion of new oak, which adds flavors of vanilla and toasted oak, complementing the ripe, tropical fruit profile.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Alias Chardonnay has an attractive medium golden color.The nose offers notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango, and ripe peach, complemented by subtle notes of brown butter coupled with vanilla cream and toasted oak.
This Chardonnay exhibits a medium body with a smooth and creamy texture. The tropical fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by hints of citrus and a touch of butterscotch on the pleasant finish.
