Scott Family Estate Chardonnay is a premium Californian wine from the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey County. This region is known for its cool climate and ocean influence, which helps the grapes to retain their freshness and vibrancy. The wine undergoes partial aging in oak barrels, which provides a rich, creamy texture, while a portion is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh acidity and fruity notes.
On the nose, the Scott Family Estate Chardonnay offers aromas of ripe apple, peach, tropical fruit and hints of vanilla and toasted oak. In the mouth you will taste the full, creamy texture with flavors of butter, ripe citrus fruit and subtle spices, combined with a lively acidity that ensures a fresh finish.
This Chardonnay is an ideal companion for rich dishes such as grilled lobster with butter sauce, baked scallops or creamy pastas. It also goes well with poultry, such as roasted chicken or turkey with a creamy sauce. For a vegetarian dish, a pairing with risotto or roasted vegetables such as pumpkin is an excellent choice.
