La Crema Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2022

Over 30 years of experience working with chardonnay and pinot noir have established La Crema as a winery of consistent quality. La Crema produces wines from top cool-climate appellations to include; Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, Monterey and most recently Willamette. The unifying factors of all these sites are their cool, windy climates and marine-based soils.

The home of La Crema and heart of Sonoma County Wine Country, the Russian River Valley AVA is one of the premier wine growing regions in the world. One unique element of the area is the Pacific Ocean’s maritime influence which moderates the warms days of the growing season allowing grapes to ripen and develop slowly. The unique weather patterns combined with a diversity of well-draining soils make the appellation well suited to produce cool climate chardonnay. The fruit for this wine was sourced from some of La Crema’s finest estate and grower vineyards in the Russian River Valley.

The La Crema Russian River Chardonnay has aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and green pear, are followed by subtle hints of toasted hazelnut and spices. Flavours of apple, lemon curd, and pineapple are throughout the palate, while rich ­flavours of vanilla custard start to shine through. A vibrant and concentrated balance of acidity drives a lingering finish..
