Golden Hour in a Glass

Step into the warmth of a Californian sunrise with The Sun Also Rise Chardonnay 2022, a wine that epitomises elegance and craftsmanship. Aged for 16 months in a thoughtful blend of 41% French oak, 9% once-used French oak, 47% neutral oak, and 3% acacia, this Chardonnay achieves a captivating balance of texture, complexity, and aromatic allure.

Tasting Notes

The nose is almost perfume-like, drawing you in with lime blossom, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom, interwoven with the comforting warmth of toasted almond and freshly baked croissants. On the palate, tangerine cream and sun-kissed orchard fruits shine brightly, layered with a rich mineral density that adds depth and intrigue. The finish is hauntingly long, leaving a lasting impression of elegance.

Perfect Serve

This Chardonnay is perfect for pairing with dishes that celebrate richness and texture. Try it with lobster in a butter sauce, herb-crusted chicken, or wild mushroom risotto. For a lighter option, pair with roasted root vegetables or a creamy burrata salad. Serve lightly chilled to allow its nuances to unfold.

Artisan Craftsmanship

This wine’s journey is a testament to artistry. After a light pressing and settling, the juice was fermented and aged sure lie in a combination of barrels and puncheons. Following 11 months of élevage, the wine was transferred to stainless steel barrels with full lees for further development, allowing its vibrant character to blossom. The careful oak regime adds layers of spice, creaminess, and structure without overwhelming the fruit.
