WINE DESCRIPTION
Anaba Chardonnay is a distinguished white wine from Sonoma County, California, produced by Anaba Wines. This winery is noted for its sustainable practices and innovative approach to winemaking. Anaba Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in the cool-climate vineyards of Sonoma, which are ideal for cultivating Chardonnay grapes that develop a balance of acidity and flavor complexity. The winemaking process typically involves fermentation in oak barrels, which imparts depth and a creamy texture to the wine, along with a subtle hint of vanilla and spice. Additionally, some winemakers employ malolactic fermentation to achieve a richer, more buttery character. Anaba's focus on terroir expression and skilled winemaking results in a Chardonnay that is both elegant and representative of the unique qualities of Sonoma County.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Anaba Chardonnay features a delightful array of aromas, including ripe apple, pear, and tropical fruits like pineapple, complemented by nuances of toasted oak and a hint of buttery richness.On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a smooth and creamy texture. The flavors of orchard fruits are beautifully integrated with notes of vanilla and a touch of butterscotch, derived from oak aging. The wine's well-balanced acidity adds freshness and leads to a long, satisfying finish with lingering fruit and subtle oak flavors.
