Signorello Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes 2012

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThirty two year old vines are behind the ‘Vieilles Vignes’ estate chardonnay. The grapes are handpicked, whole cluster pressed and native yeast fermented. Yields are a miniscule 1.8 tons per acre. The attack is rich and succulent with pineapple/honeysuckle aromas and flavours, definitely more Napa then Burgundy its spends 16 months on its lees in 333 percent new French oak from three tonneliers and three different forests. More old style this year. Try with lobster.Tasted: 19 May 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
