Winemaking Notes
The Olema Chardonnay Reserve is the result of the phenomenal vineyards we work with each year, allowing us the opportunity to make a second Chardonnay beginning in 2017. A little richer, more unctuous and forward than the California Chardonnay, the Reserve Chardonnay is made with a little more new oak and leaps from the glass with flavors of caramelized fruit and apricot combine with vanilla and custard notes.
This rich, full-bodied Chardonnay opens with aromas of mascarpone, Anjou pear, ripe peach and roasted nuts. The palate is round and supple, with great texture and flavors of crème brûlée and graham cracker. The medium to full-bodied wine has balanced acidity with bright notes of lime zest through the finish.
