This wine has structure and restraint melded with bountiful opulence. In the glass, buttery brioche marries with tropical fruits which may very well leave the bottle drained before you know it. Try it with turbot for a match of delicacy and richness. VINEYARD The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Bien Nacido and Rancho Vinedo Vineyards, meaning the fruit came entirely from the heart of the Santa Maria Valley AVA in Coastal Santa Barbara County. The Bien Nacido Vineyard is the primary vineyard source for Au Bon Climat wines. The influence of the sea is felt in the cool temperatures of the Santa Maria AVA. Warm days and cool nights combine with soils composed of gravel and calciferous clay to produce wines with a unique and much sought-after character. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Chardonnay VINIFICATION The vast majority of the grapes were picked between 23.1° brix and 23.8° brix for balance acidity, balanced alcohol and properly ripe fruit characters. The resulting wine, after fermentation in Francois Freres French oak barrels of which less than 20 % were new, was matured sur lie in the same barrels for 9-10 months. It was bottled without filtration. TASTING NOTE It has aromas of citrus, stone fruit, fennel and custard apple. The flavours are smooth and integrated, creamy and tense, with apricot, golden delicious apple and lemon verbena nuances. This ABC Santa Barbara County Chardonnay embodies the Santa Barbara regional style CLOSURE:    Cork ALCOHOL:    13.5% (10.1 units per bottle)  in stock.OUT OF STOCK Per Bottle £17.50 Quantity:   **sRecentPrefix** <br/><br/><div class="recenththeader"><input class="recenthtbuttonright" id="scrollbackrecent" type="button" value=" Next >>" onclick="ScrollBackRecent();"><input class="recenthtbuttonleft" id="scrollforwardrecent" type="button" value="<< Previous" onclick="ScrollForwardRecent();"><div style="text-align:center">Recently Viewed Products</div></div><br clear="all"/><table id="recenthtitem"> **sRecentImageRowPrefix** <tr><td class="recenthtitemspacer" rowspan=4> </td> **sRecentImageItem** <td class="recenthtitemimage"><a _HREF_="_SSURL_?PRODREF=_PID_&NOLOGIN=1" ><img border="0" src="_THUMB_" alt="_NAME_" /></a></td><td class="recenthtitemspacer" rowspan=4> </td> **sRecentImageRowSuffix** </tr> **sRecentDescRowPrefix** <tr> **sRecentDescItem** <td class="recenthtitemdesc"><a _HREF_="_SSURL_?PRODREF=_PID_&NOLOGIN=1" >_NAME_</a></td> **sRecentDescRowSuffix** **sRecentPriceRowPrefix** <tr> **sRecentPriceItem** <td class="recenthtitemprice">_PRICE_</td> **sRecentPriceRowSuffix** </tr> **sRecentDeleteRowPrefix** <tr> **sRecentDeleteItem** <td class="recenthtitemdelete"><a href="javascript:DeleteRecent('_PID_', true);"><img src="xit.jpg" border="0" /></a></td> **sRecentDeleteRowSuffix** </tr> **sRecentSuffix** </table> **sRecentEmptyList**
