Winemaker Unknown - Notes
Robert Mondavi Solaire Chardonnay grapes were selected at the peak of ripeness from top vineyards within Santa Lucia Highlands. A percentage of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, and 100% of the juice was barrel fermented for a full, complex mouthfeel. The wine aged in a mixture of new and used French oak barrels from various esteemed coopers.
Solaire Chardonnay displays aromas and flavors of citrus, pear, mango, and freshly cut pineapple, supported by spicy and smoky nuances from 100% French oak.
