WINE DESCRIPTION

Black Kite Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Black Kite Cellars, a renowned winery in California. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Soberanes Vineyard, which is located in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation. The vineyard is known for its cool climate and rocky soils, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves fermenting the grapes in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and richness to the wine. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Chardonnay with notes of citrus, apple, and vanilla, balanced by a crisp acidity. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted, elegant wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Black Kite Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay has a vibrant nose of white peach, honeydew, and lemon citrus.On the palate, it has a rich texture with a creamy mid-palate and a bright acidity that lifts the flavors of ripe peach and pineapple. The finish is long and lingering with hints of vanilla and butterscotch. An all-around delicious Chardonnay with a great balance of fruit and acidity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Black Kite

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
