Nielson Chardonnay, Santa Barbara, 6x75cl

🍷 Nielson – Chardonnay
USA | California | Monterey & Santa Barbara County AVA | 100% Chardonnay
Style: Still White Wine
Winemaking: Barrel fermented and aged in French oak to build texture and complexity, with a portion undergoing malolactic fermentation for creaminess while maintaining bright acidity
Farming: From coastal vineyards in Monterey and Santa Barbara, where cool Pacific breezes and foggy mornings extend ripening and preserve natural acidity, producing vibrant, expressive Chardonnay

🍍 A golden, coastal Chardonnay—lush, spicy, and finely balanced.

👁 In the Glass:
Brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections—radiant and inviting.

👃 On the Nose:
Rich and aromatic. Scents of honeycomb, pineapple, and lemon zest are layered with notes of toasted oak, baking spice, and wet stone.

👅 On the Palate:
Generous yet bright. Ripe tropical fruit and citrus unfold across a creamy, textured mid-palate, lifted by brisk Santa Maria acidity. The finish is long, flavourful, and finely etched with minerality and oak spice.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with roast chicken, seared scallops, lobster with drawn butter, or creamy pasta dishes. A Chardonnay that shines with both elegance and richness.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now for its vivid fruit, or cellar for 3–5 years as it develops additional depth and roundness.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Nielson’s coastal Chardonnay delivers the best of California’s Pacific-influenced vineyards—ripe, textured, and beautifully balanced with a zesty edge. A white that’s both opulent and refreshingly precise.
