Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros (75cl, 14.5%)

Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros is a full-bodied, 100% barrel-fermented California Chardonnay from the Carneros appellation. It is fermented entirely in a blend of new, two-year-old and three-year-old French and American oak barrels, then briefly aged in the same vessels. Full malolactic fermentation gives a creamy, buttery mouthfeel. The nose has ripe apple, bright citrus, melon, crème brûlée, baking spices, butter, toasted nut and vanilla. The palate is lush with tropical fruit, baked apple, white peach and citrus, with vanilla, butterscotch, toasted oak and creamy texture. The finish is persistent and creamy, with baking spice, toasted nuts and honeyed sweetness.
