Chardonnay

Our Frei Brothers Sonoma Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a classic expression of one of Sonoma County’s most renowned cool-climate regions. Aromas of freshly baked apple-pear tart greet the nose. On the palate, the region’s signature bright acidity shines through with notes of ripe pineapple and juicy honeydew with a dash of cardamom. A touch of buttercream crowns the finish, delivering a richly styled, decadent Chardonnay. The Russian River Valley is a unique macroclimate because of cooling maritime influences balance warm days with cool, refreshing evenings and fog-cloaked mornings. As a result, the fruit ripens slowly and evenly, developing signature flavors and complexity reflective of this special Sonoma terroir.

Our Chardonnay is smooth, flavorful and full with layers of crisp apple, pear, toasted coconut and spice. Inspired by the Glass Shield, Arch Rival wine is a masterful encounter between opposing forces: bold, incredibly rich flavor and smooth, taming balance.

The Gallo Signature Series honors an extraordinary journey begun by the Gallo family in 1933. Today, with some of California’s best grapes at her fingertips, third‐generation winemaker Gina Gallo has created a collection of wines that could only be crafted from the Gallo family’s unique combination of vineyards. These wines mark a return to hands‐on winemaking for Gina, and they bring to life the enduring legacy of Ernest and Julio Gallo. Our Russian River Valley Chardonnay was hand-harvested from select blocks in our Russian River Valley estate vineyards. Grapes were gently whole‐cluster pressed with press cuts taken by taste to maximize the flavor of each block or clone. The grapes were then cold settled and racked directly to barrel where it fermented at cool temperatures with specially selected yeasts. The wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation and sur lie aging with weekly stirring to give it a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The wine was aged for 15 months in 100% French oak barrels, 85% new.
