Description

Foxglove Chardonnay Central Coast 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay from the Central Coast of California, USA. Foxglove is Varner's (the iconic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer) second wine label.

This Chardonnay is sourced from Edna Valley, a small wine region located close to the Pacific Ocean. The Valley's cool, foggy summers and clay-loam soils produce a well-balanced, mineral-driven, beautifully complex wine.

Taste Profile: A richness of fruit from California's Central Coast giving you tropical notes. However, the wine is bottled without going through malolactic fermentation and has no oak on it so it maintains a very clean profile.

The palate has balance and elegance with lemon zest and pineapple coming through.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
