Stuhlmuller Vineyards Chardonnay 2012 (75cl)

Stuhlmuller Vineyards Chardonnay 2012 is an estate-grown white wine from Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, made entirely from Chardonnay. It is bottled in a 750ml bottle. The vines use budwood from the Gauer Upper Barn Vineyard, an old Wente clone. The 2012 underwent barrel fermentation and aging in French oak on the fine lees. The nose shows toasted almond, subtle vanilla, ripe orchard fruit, baked apple and light butterscotch. The palate is rounded and medium-bodied with ripe pear, golden apple and a creamy, biscuity texture, while the finish is moderate with warm, lightly toasty notes and subtle citrus peel.
