Belle Pente
Belle Pente Vineyard Chardonnay


Solid richness, medium buttery, vibrant acidity, good fruit, dry Asian pear and fluttering tropicals, and just a hint of earthy funk. There's a lot going on here.

Straw in color with a soft floral nose. Buttery on the palate but not overly oaky. Asian pear, almond, honey, and light citrus layered over a mineral backbone. Medium acid in the finish. Not as bold as a California Chardonnay, but nicely balanced.
