Drew's Tasting Note

Enticing tropical fruit and peach blossom aromas. Refreshing citrus flavours lead to rich, creamy pineapple, baked pear and lemon curd. Beautifully integrated oak. A generous, long finish. A California Chardonnay to rival many white Burgundies. Try pairing with seafood, roast chicken, or a mushroom risotto.

Producer: Buena Vista Winery | Vintage: 2019 | From: Carneros, California, USA | Alcohol: 14.5 | Style: rich white, still | Grape: Chardonnay

The Winery

Founded in 1857, Buena Vista is California’s first premium winery, spanning from Sonoma County to Napa Valley. Its founder and self-proclaimed “Count of Buena Vista,” Agoston Haraszthy, brought his grape-growing expertise from his homeland of Hungary. When he first arrived in Sonoma, Haraszthy knew it would be the perfect place to create extraordinary wines… bathed in sunlight during the day, protected from the fog and rain by mountains to the west, cooled by the ocean breezes from the south at night. In 2011, over 150 years after Buena Vista was first founded, the winery became part of Boisset Family Estates. The Boisset Family is renowned for its roots in Burgundy, France, and has continued the legacy Haraszthy created.
