Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros Chardonnay 2014

The underlying philosophy at Etude Wines is that winemaking begins in the vineyard, months and even years before the grapes are harvested. The Etude winemaking team - founder Tony Soter, Jon Priest and Franci Ashton - believes that inspired grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker, the end result being superior wines that are grown, not made. Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros Chardonnay is made of 100% estate grown fruit and boasts a polished, sophisticated style. Look for delicate aromas of lemon, stone fruits, quince and jasmine leading to ripe honeydew, melon and pear notes on the palate and gentle minerality.
