WINE DESCRIPTION
WindRacer Chardonnay is a premium wine produced in the Anderson Valley. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with well-draining soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine.

The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and plenty of oak. WindRacer Chardonnay is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a refined and balanced wine with a long, lingering finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: WindRacer
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.CUSTOMER RATING
