Description

Known to be "the first Chardonnay family in California", Wente Vineyards was the first in California to produce a Chardonnay labeled as a variety in 1936, obtained from the Wente clones. In San Francisco, in the Livermore Valley, this family has for years expressed the best of a terroir with a climate mitigated by morning fog.

Morning Fog is a wine that is harvested between the first week of September and the last week of October. Ferment and refine half of it in American oak barrels and the remaining half in stainless steel barrels. Oak helps the wine to concentrate aromas and flavours, while steel seals the vibrant and lively fruit aromas.

White wine with a lively straw yellow colour, it expresses on the nose hints of white pulp fruit, such as pear and red pulp, like melon and citrus fruits. The palate confirms the fruity sensations and adds a further nuance, the toasted one of barrel ageing. An enveloping body and a pleasant persistent and balanced minerality, with a long and invigorating finish.

Its elegant and well balanced organoleptic profile makes it the most suitable wine to accompany white meat sauce, as well as fish first and second courses. Try it with shellfish.
