Rutherford Carneros Chardonnay

Rutherford Carneros Chardonnay

Rutherford Carneros Chardonnay is a refined, elegant wine from the Carneros region, known for its excellent conditions for growing Chardonnay grapes. Due to the influence of the nearby San Pablo Bay, the Carneros region has a cooler climate, which ensures a slower ripening of the grapes and therefore a better balance between acidity and ripeness.

In the glass, this wine has a bright, fruity character with aromas of ripe apple, peach and citrus fruits, complemented by notes of vanilla, toast and a hint of oak due to the partial barrel maturation. The structure of the wine is full and creamy, but with a fresh acidity that keeps the whole in balance.

Wine - Food pairing

Rutherford Carneros Chardonnay combines excellently with rich fish dishes such as grilled salmon or cod in butter sauce. The wine also goes well with poultry, such as roasted chicken or turkey with a creamy sauce. For vegetarians, a pairing with creamy pastas or dishes with mushrooms is a nice choice, where the creaminess of the wine enhances the dish, without it becoming too heavy. The fresh acids also make the wine an ideal partner for fresh salads with a creamy vinaigrette.
