Hess Select Chardonnay

“As a classic California Chardonnay, this wine offers tropical aromas of grilled pineapple, a hint of lemon zest, and subtle oak. Hess Select Chardonnay is medium-bodied with layered flavors of sliced peaches and delicious golden apples, finishing crisp and clean with well-balanced acid. Maritime influences in the vineyard bring bright acidity; 30% oak fermentation adds a creamy crème brûlée like finish.” - Dave Guffy, Chief WinemakerChardonnay, one of the most popular white wine grapes grown in California, offers a diverse range of styles influenced by its terroir and winemaking techniques. In the coastal regions where the climate is cooler, Chardonnay grapes produce crisp, citrusy flavors and aromas. While in the warmer inland valley regions of California, Chardonnay develops rounder, richer flavors. We search throughout California for quality vineyard growing sites that will create this classic, well-balanced white wine.
