Pico & Vine Chardonnay Sonoma (75cl, 14.1%)

A Sonoma County, California Chardonnay from Pico & Vine, bottled at 14.1% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The wine is fruit-forward, with bright orchard fruit character and a crisp, refreshing finish. The producer sources Chardonnay from Sonoma County, where cool morning fog and warm afternoon sunshine help the grapes ripen while retaining natural acidity. The nose opens with clean apple and ripe pear, then brighter citrus, with subtle vanilla and warm nutmeg underneath. On the palate, apple and pear arrive fresh and well-defined, with soft citrus and a whisper of vanilla spice. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a faint mineral quality.
