Federalist Chardonnay, California, USA

Full bodied, Rich, Buttery

(Chardonnay)

(Alc. 14.5%) 75cl

Appearance Bright golden yellow with brilliant clarity and subtle straw-coloured highlights.

Aroma Rich and inviting, with aromas of ripe pineapple, peach, and baked apple, complemented by notes of vanilla, toasted oak, butter, and a touch of citrus zest.

Palate Medium to full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture. Generous flavours of ripe tropical fruits, golden apple, and pear are layered with hints of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. Well-balanced acidity provides freshness and structure, while subtle buttery notes add depth and richness without overwhelming the fruit character.

Finish Long, smooth, and elegant, with lingering notes of ripe orchard fruit, vanilla, and gentle oak spice.

Food Pairing An excellent accompaniment to roast chicken, grilled salmon, lobster, creamy pasta dishes, seafood risotto, pork tenderloin, and rich cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, or Gruyère.

Serving Recommendation Serve chilled at 10-12°C. Allow the wine to warm slightly in the glass to fully appreciate its complexity and texture. Best enjoyed in a large Chardonnay glass.
