WINE DESCRIPTION
Kendall-Jackson Avant Unoaked Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of the Chardonnay grape, crafted by the renowned Kendall-Jackson, a producer celebrated for its commitment to quality and innovation. This wine hails from the diverse appellation regions of California, where the vineyards benefit from the cool coastal influences and varied soil types, contributing to the grapes' complexity and flavor profile. The Avant Unoaked Chardonnay is distinguished by its winemaking process, which eschews the traditional oak aging to highlight the grape's natural crispness and fruit-forward character. This decision results in a wine that offers a fresh, modern take on Chardonnay, embodying the essence of the fruit with purity and clarity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Kendall-Jackson Avant Unoaked Chardonnay greets the palate with a lively and refreshing acidity that showcases the wine's youthful vigor.It features a delightful array of citrus notes, including lemon zest and green apple, that blend seamlessly with hints of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. The absence of oak allows the wine's mineral undertones to shine through, adding a layer of complexity to the crisp, clean finish.
