The Artesia Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2013 is a distinctive and full-bodied white wine that reflects the Estate Vineyard in Carneros where it was grown. The Estate Vineyard has excellent southern exposure, which allows grapes to ripen fully and maintain their bright acidity. This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is 100% grown, produced, and bottled by Artesa. The wine is full-bodied and intensely flavored, with aromas of citrus, jasmine, and orange blossom. Flavors of citrus and stone fruit envelope the palate. This balanced Chardonnay will mature well and reach greater complexity over time in the bottle.
