Estancia Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

Estancia Chardonnay is a 100% Chardonnay from Monterey, California, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The grapes are sourced from Monterey County, a region known for its long, cool growing season shaped by marine influence from the Pacific Ocean. The winemaking uses a hybrid approach: primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, some with French oak staves, while select sets undergo malolactic fermentation and additional aging in French and American oak. The final blend combines both components. The nose shows baked apple, lemon peel, honey, tropical fruit, butter richness, orange and pineapple. The palate is soft and fruit-forward with Pink Lady apple, honeydew melon, pineapple, orange, almond and gentle spice, finishing with lingering citrus and faint toasty oak.
