Rodney Strong Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is brimming with apple, citrus, lemongrass and a hint of pineapple with a core of bright acidity and a long toasty finish. The barrel fermented portion of this wine was in new French oak creating toasty vanilla and spice complexities in the wine. We regularly stirred the lees during the 10 months of barrel aging to add richness and texture. The remaining portion was cold fermented in stainless steel, where malolactic fermentation brought additional character. Enjoy this wine now or over the next 2 to 4 years with soft cheeses, seafood or chicken salad.
