Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes...

Wente Vineyard Selection Morning Fog Chardonnay presents enjoyable aromas and flavours of green apple and tropical fruits, balanced by subtle oak, cinnamon and vanilla. With the inherent natural fruit flavours, a mouth filling body and balanced acidity, this wine delivers a medium length, refreshing finish.

The Story:Each summer morning, fog billows inland through the famous Golden Gate, pushed by Pacific wind streams, into the bowl of the San Francisco Bay. Here, it forms deep fog banks that rest on the East Bay Hills. In just one place, the Livermore Valley, the fog banks come further east, cooling the air as it goes. This daily phenomenon creates the Mediterranean or Marine climate that is found in less than 1% of the world's landmass; it makes the San Francisco Bay and Livermore Valley appellations ideal for growing wine grapes that are beautifully balanced. The naming of Morning Fog Chardonnay pays homage to this rare climate

Our Alternative Wines

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes...

There is no doubt that this beautifully balanced and aromatic wine lives up to its reputation with an intensely flavoured, distinctive varietal character.

An ideal alternative for Sancerre and Pouilly FumÌ© fans, this wine gives a little more in bouquet and palate. The pale, straw-coloured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc glints with green, and is enticingly fragrant with lifted elderflower notes, tropical aromas of ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and citrus with hints of fennel and a touch of Pastis. The palate is ripe, fine and succulent, offering zesty ripe citrus flavours coupled with an edge of minerality and sweet herbs. A small barrel ferment component gives balancing flesh to the wine‰Ûªs crisp refreshing acidity
