Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay

The Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay from California matures for 10 months in American and French oak barrels. This wonderfully complements the intense fruit aromas of this white wine. The bouquet combines notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple, white nectarine and sweet baking spices. On the palate, this wine from "California's First Family of Chardonnay" is full, luscious and somewhat creamy, with a beautiful texture, balance and a long finish.

The Wente family has been dedicated to viticulture for 5 generations, and this blend of Chardonnay and a very small amount of Gewürztraminer shows why the winery is one of the big names in Californian viticulture.

Enjoy this American white wine with cheese, vegetable dishes or poultry.
