Wente Estate Central Coast Chardonnay 2024

C.H. Wente came to America in the late 1800s from Hamburg Germany, learned to make wine from a German by the name of Charles Krug in the Napa Valley, and in 1883 established his first 47-acre Estate and Winery. He chose the Livermore Valley as it was famed for its excellent soils and climate.   The vines that Ernest Wente (son of Carl who founded the winery) grafted in the early 1900s were so successful that they are responsible for more than 75% of Chardonnay vines in modern-day California. Today, the family winery places a special emphasis on sustainability putting vineyards through rigorous testing and using electric tractors.

 This bottle? Enjoy aromas and flavors of green apple and tropical fruits, balanced by subtle oak, cinnamon and vanilla from barrel aging. Full body and balanced acidity, this wine delivers a medium-long, refreshing finish.
