Viansa '22 Carneros Sonoma Altura Estate Chardonnay
In 2022, the Viansa Estate Vineyard was harvested twelve days earlier than 2021. This shorter growing season resulted in wines with higher acid along with a natural richness. Notes of sweet pears, kiwis, and Meyer lemons abound from the glass. The palate shows flavors of honeycrisp apples with a creamy entry, stone fruits, and jasmine balanced with fresh acidity. Pair this Chardonnay with sautéed mushrooms with fresh tarragon over polenta or grilled elote (Mexican street corn).
Our Estate Chardonnay is comprised of fruit from our Estate Vineyard on the Viansa property, planted with a mix of Wente and Dijon clones.
Label Artwork: Baked pastry, lemon cream, citrus zest, and the olive trees that surround our Chardonnay vineyard were the inspiration for these warm, rich tones.
