Mount Eden's Chardonnay grapes are harvested when slightly yellow to yellow-green and are pressed without crushing. All of the juice is barrel-fermented in new and one-year-old French Burgundy barrels, where the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on the lees for ten months prior to bottling. The Chardonnay is then cellared for two years before being released.

WOTN. Good color. Butter and cream with massive depth. Pears and subtle melons on the palate. Really good!

A lot going on here. Butterscotch, lemon, oak, pear, apple , peach, toasted rum. Almost too heavy for me. Cheers.

Medium acidity. Aggressive oak but well-integrated. Tropical fruit, almond, vanilla, with some flowers.
