Shannon Ridge Chardonnay (High Elevation) is produced Shannon Family of Wines who are dedicated to creating wines using sustainable means and are organically certified. Chardonnay is harvested from the Red Hills at high elevation meaning the grapes ripen slower and retain their acidity better than those planted on the valley floor. After harvesting the grapes, the wines are fermented and matured with a proportion of oak to add subtle toasty notes and sweet spice designed to complement the ripe stone and tropical fruit flavors.
