A Californian Chardonnay that is rich, generous, and balanced by a pleasant acidity that some compare to a ripe Chablis. A lovely discovery from abroad. More info

To create this generous Chardonnay, rich in notes of melon, pineapple, apricot, honeysuckle and flint, nicely balanced by a delicate acidity, the domain favoured the fermentation of whole grape bunches. This was followed by a fermentation in barrels (75%) and in stainless steel. The wine was then matured for 14 months in French oak barrels (75% new wood) and in steel vats (25%).

Stags Leap District Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay Shafer Vineyards serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Salade césar, Asperges à la flamande, Blanquette de lotte.
