Camelot Vineyards Chardonnay

Vineyards

Camelot 2006 Chardonnay was produced from grapes grown in California’s cool-climate North Coast and Central Coast winegrowing regions, with 88% from North Coast vineyards and the balance from Central Coast sites.

Winemaking

Winemaker Melissa Bates blends state-of-the-art technology with old-world artisan winemaking techniques to craft outstanding Chardonnay that consistently over-delivers on quality. Fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character, the wine ages several months sur lie (on the yeast lees) in French and American oak to gain added richness and complexity.

Winemaker’s Notes

“Our 2006 Chardonnay displays bright apple and tropical fruit aromas with creamy, toasty oak tones adding complexity. Fruit-forward apple, pear and citrus flavors coat the palate while oak nuances add interest and sur lie character enriches the finish. Pair it with seafood and chicken dishes, game hens, pork roast and cream sauce pastas.”
