WINE DESCRIPTION

California's Guenoc Valley. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this Chardonnay showcases the region's unique terroir and Langtry Farms' dedication to quality winemaking. The wine is well-regarded for its elegance, balance, and creamy texture, making it a popular choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions. The winemaking process involves a combination of stainless steel and oak barrel fermentation, resulting in a smooth wine with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and vanilla.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Guenoc Chardonnay offers a bright and zesty palate with notes of fresh citrus, pineapple, and subtle oak.On the nose, light floral and stone fruit aromas come through with a hint of toasted oak. The palate is round and creamy with a lively acidity, leading to a long and crisp finish. This is a good example of classical rich Californian Chardonnay with a creamy and smooth texture, a hint of smokiness on the palate and ripe stone fruit character. Can be dunk young or cellared for 1-2 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Guenoc

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
