Description: At 90 years of age, RobertMondavi remains the global emissary for these wine. His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world. RobertMondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of California wine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics. RobertMondavi Winery is located in the heart of Napa Valley, California. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in the post-Prohibition era, RobertMondavi Winery helped establish the foundation for the modern-day California wine business. Its mission-style architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that evokes California's winemaking history. This Chardonnay has beautifully integrated apple, citrus, stone fruit and white flower character that perfumes the aromas and cascades across the palate. Notes of mineral and oak spice weave through the smooth, silky fruit flavours and linger on the finish. This myriad of flavours comes from Chardonnay vineyards in the coolest regions of Napa Valley, primarily the Los Carneros American Viticultural Area and surrounding foothills. For complexity, Mondavi barrel-fermented the wine with both native and cultured yeast. Next, the wine was hand-stirred during sur lie ageing in toasted Burgundian barrels to harmonise flavours and add creamy nuances. The result is a graceful, stylish wine that captures the expression of Napa Valley terroir. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £205.03

Description: At 90 years of age, RobertMondavi remains the global emissary for these wine. His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world. RobertMondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of California wine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics. RobertMondavi have long recognized the distinctive vineyards of California's coast. For decades they have sourced fruit from coastal regions, and in 1994 introduced RobertMondavi Private Selection wines to exhibit the high quality and character of the coastal grapes and vineyards. Mondavi harvested 96% of the grapes for the Chardonnay from the Central Coast AVA, with 81% of the fruit selected from Monterey County and 15% from Santa Barbara County. The balance of the fruit was selected from the North Coast AVA. The marine influence of these two regions slows ripening of Chardonnay grapes, developing vibrant flavours and retaining crisp acidity. Once harvested the grapes were pressed to capture the fresh, lively flavours. 44% of the wine was fermented in small oak barrels for complexity, with the balance in stainless steel tanks to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. After the wine was fermented dry, a selected portion of the blend undergoes partial malolactic fermentation to give a rich, round mouthfeel. Finally barrel-fermented ageing of the wine occurred sur lie in small French and American oak barrels for 10 months to integrate flavours and add soft oak nuances. To heighten the wine's floral and spice aromatics, Mondavi added dashes of Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. Elegant tiers of fresh pear, apple and tropical fruit character mingle with delicate floral accents while the wine's vibrant flavours and beautiful balance come from vineyards along California's Central Coast American Viticultural Area . Here, cool Pacific winds temper the summer sun and give Chardonnay grapes ripe flavours with crisp acidity. Fermentation in a combination of small oak barrels and stainless steel tanks wove oak complexity through the wine's array of fruit flavours, and when the wine was aged on yeast it enhanced the silky texture and lingering finish.
