Description

The Prisoner Caneros Chardonnay 2019

The Prisoner Caneros Chardonnay has bursting aromas of vanilla, crème brûlée, and baked apple. It is full-bodied and rich on the palate, flavours of pineapple and toasted oak integrate nicely with the balanced acidity and smooth finish. This bottle is The Prinsoner's newest creation and showcases Chardonnay’s elegantly tropical and subtly sun-kissed side, this is a must have for fruit forward Chardonnay lovers.

A beautiful blend of Chardonnay, Roussanne and Gewürztraminer.

The hand-picked grapes are pressed immediately to separate the juice from the skin and seeds. Once the juice has settled overnight, it’s inoculated with yeast and moved to barrels to ferment. After the primary period of fermentation, the barrels are stirred every other week to perfect the wine’s balance and acidity.

The Prisoner Wine Company works with passionate growers to source varietals from vineyards and appellations across California. Alongside a family of growers, The Prisoner winemaking team pushes boundaries as they craft a selection of unexpected, yet artful wines. The Prisoner Wine Company is located on the legendary Highway 29 in Napa Valley.
