Khoai Chardonnay 2019
Hundred Knot

Tasting Notes

Crafted from the storied 'Old Wente Clone' grown at the acclaimed Durell Vineyard, this wine radiates pristine notes of Meyer lemon, Golden Delicious apple, and stone fruit. Hints of roasted cashew, blanched almond, and flaky croissant complicate delicate wafts of fresh white floral tones. Baking spices expose a kiss of French oak while stony minerality provides reflections of world-class coastal terroir. It’s clean and bright yet polished on the palate, bridging traditionally round and crisp styles– proving Burgundian-style white wine can be made in California.

Pairing

A dream with seafood– Any fish or poultry in a basic cream or coconut cream sauce. Try a blond miso glaze with saffron rice, or just massaman curry.

Vineyard Notes

The Durell Vineyard is located in the hills at the intersection of Carneros, Sonoma Valley, and Sonoma Coast. It has been a source of remarkable fruit since its planting in the late 1970s. From Durell, we source Old Wente Chardonnay from its original plantings.

Production Notes

The fruit came in on September 21st and was pressed whole cluster. Barrel fermented in 40% new french oak and left on fermentation lees with occasional batonnage. It was only racked before bottling at the end of October.

Food Pairing Notes
