Product Details
Description
Rich, expressive, and beautifully balanced, this Californian Chardonnay from Hahn delivers layers of tropical fruit, creamy texture, and a touch of oak. Initial aromas of pineapple, mango, and ripe pear give way to hints of vanilla and sweet spice. The palate is indulgent, with flavours of baked apple, banana, and toffee, while a refreshing acidity balances the wine’s silky mouthfeel. A lingering note of sweet butter and a crisp finish make this a luxurious yet easy-drinking white.
History and Winemaking
Since 1980, the Hahn family has been making great wines from their hillside vineyards in Monterey County, California. They saw the land’s potential and turned it into a top winemaking estate. With 650 acres of vineyards, Hahn is known for its rich, smooth Chardonnays and elegant Pinot Noirs. The cool ocean breezes and different climates in the area help the grapes ripen slowly, bringing out more depth and flavour in their wines.
Tasting Notes
Lush aromas of pineapple, mango, and ripe pear lead into a palate of baked apple, banana, and creamy toffee. A touch of vanilla and sweet butter rounds out the rich, smooth texture, balanced by fresh acidity and a crisp, lingering finish.
Pairings
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, roasted chicken with lemon, or a classic Caesar salad. Its rich, creamy notes also complement buttery lobster, scallops, or pasta dishes with a light cream sauce.
