This Russian River Valley Chardonnay is complex and elegant, showing its cool-climate heritage with concentrated flavors and a texture that shows just enough bright citrus tones for balance and excitement. Slight tannins accentuate and compliment the finish, making it one of those Chardonnays that draw you in for the next sip.
The wine opens with warm savory aromatics and is followed with lemon and pear in the background. It’s distinctly Chardonnay. New oak has been used sparingly to enhance the wine with subtle tones, rather than dominate it.
Our Russian River Valley Chardonnay was grown on four different estate vineyards. The sites range from rolling hills to steep and cold hillside plantings. This diverse combination adds distinct elements from each site and creates a complete and complex wine with structure and grace. Balletto Vineyards makes all of its wine from sustainably farmed estate vineyards located throughout the cool southern region of the Russian River Valley. It is one of the few Russian River wineries to be 100% estate grown and estate bottled.
