Artesa’s 2019 Los Carneros Chardonnay displays great fruit freshness, intensity, and elegance. This wine’s focus is primarily on aromatics, with the winemaking techniques intending to retain the characteristic Carneros aromatic notes of lemon-citrus and white blossom, while enhancing the minerality and bright, vibrant fruit flavors of citrus and stone fruit in the wine. Partial barrel and malolactic fermentation, combined with lees stirring, produces a wine with added layers of complexity, imparting hints of Meyer lemon, nectarine, and lemongrass.
