Cuvaison Chardonnay Carneros (75cl, 14.1%)

Cuvaison Chardonnay Carneros is a 100% Chardonnay from Los Carneros, Napa Valley, California, at approximately 13.5–14.1% ABV. Cuvaison was founded in 1969 and remains independent and family-owned. Grapes are hand-harvested from 44 distinct blocks and vinified in roughly 80 individual fermentations, with barrel fermentation in French oak and partial malolactic fermentation. Aromas include golden delicious apple, honeysuckle, hazelnut, brioche and white flowers. The palate is generous, with baked apple, poached pear, vanilla, hazelnut and butterscotch, balanced by citrus and acidity. The finish is long and creamy, with apricot, toasted almond and honeycomb.
