Wente Vineyards Small Lot Erics Unoaked Chardonnay 2018Now available in the UK, Wentes new unoaked Chardonnay provides an interesting alternative to the classic Wente style. Made from 100% Chardonnay (without the classic 2% Gewrtztraminer) and no oak ageing, this Chardonnay opens with ripe lemon and key lime pie aromas, rounded with bright acidity. Wente Vineyards Small Lot wines are hand-harvested from carefully selected blocks that are estate grown and certified sustainable. With an east-west valley orientation, the site gets warm days and cool nights that are influenced by fog and breezes from the San Francisco Bay and Pacific Ocean. The grapes are handpicked and sorted at harvest to ensure premium quality. Fermented cold in stainless steel tanks, the wine is then aged for 4 months in steel and on the lees. 6 Communiqu Autumn/Winter 2019/20'
