Montes Alpha Chardonnay 2021

Montes Alpha Chardonnay 2021 displays a bright and pristine medium golden-yellow color in the glass. The bouquet is remarkably intense and expressive, bursting with fragrant aromas of lime, lemon curd, roasted pineapple, mango, and papaya, elegantly interlaced with delicate notes of vanilla bean, nougat, oatmeal, and hazelnuts from its structured aging in French oak. On the palate, this medium-bodied white wine delivers an indulgent, fleshy, and creamy texture balanced beautifully by a lively streak of refreshing mountain acidity. Layers of crisp tree fruits and subtle toasted notes seamlessly drive into a taut, refreshing, and remarkably lengthy finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with roasted chicken breast, lobster with butter sauce, pan-fried fish, creamy pasta dishes, and selection of mild cheeses.

Textbook chardonnay with a layer of oatmeal and stones to the lemon curd and roasted pineapple character. Creamy and round with a bright streak of acidity that cuts through the generous, fleshy palate.
