Tasting notes
Light straw-yellow. Intensely perfumed, mineral-tinged pear, white peach and tangerine aromas show outstanding clarity, and suggestions of sweet butter and iodine emerge with air. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering concentrated citrus and orchard fruit flavors that show real tension and mineral cut. Seamlessly blends power and finesse and finishes impressively long and stony, leaving subtle floral and vanilla notes behind.

This Chardonnay comes from a single, two-acre vineyard planted to 15 different clones, of which 25% are Wente clones. The 2015 X Novo Chardonnay is scented of lemongrass, white peaches, crushed stones and honeyed toast with hints of ginger and yeast extract. Medium-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant and intensely flavored, with complex, mouth-filling savory flavors that come together with compelling harmony and expression.
