The Bodega Norton Barrel Select Chardonnay is a delightful white wine with a rich and complex character. It displays a bright golden color in the glass. On the nose, this Chardonnay offers a bouquet of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is opulent, showcasing ripe tropical fruit complemented by layers of vanilla, toast and butterscotch derived from oak. The tropical fruit flavors persist, accompanied by notes of stone fruit and a touch of butter.
