Appellation: Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California, USA
Style: Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape in the world, from Burgundy in France to Australia and back to California. Its reputation is well earned, as it makes delicious wines! The Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma produces some of the most sought-after wines in the world. With its combination of well drained, rich volcanic soil, long California growing seasons, copious sunshine and cool coastal breezes, it produces grapes of powerful and unique intensity.
Winexpert's Sonoma Dry Creek Valley Unwooded Chardonnay is a fresh, well-balanced wine with typical Chardonnay characteristics of tropical citrus aromas and flavors. Unusual in a Chardonnay, these flavors shine through undimmed by oak: while some wines use the vanilla and smoke of oaking to add structure and depth, the fruit quality of these grapes is allowed to come through, and the rich, round mouthful lingers to a long, crisp finish.
