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 vibrant aromas of Cara Cara orange, white flowers, and vanilla bean. The palate is round yet elegant, showcasing layered flavors of crème brûlée, ripe nectarine, and soothing chamomile. Framed by precise, lively acidity, the wine carries its generous texture through a long, balanced finish.
