This Chardonnay is sourced from The Hess Collection's Shirtail Creek estate vineyard in Monterey County. The wine was crafted to accompany a variety of food and is sealed with a Stelvin closure to consistently maintain the wine's fruit forward character. The Shirtail Creek Chardonnay opens with aromas of tropical fruit and orange zest, which are followed on the palate with tangerine and guava. The refreshing acidity in the finish brings focus to the fruit complexity and invites another bite of food.
