Lockhart Chardonnay 2016

“California has earnt its stripes as a great region for lovers of creamy Chardonnays and this wine is no exception. It’s medium bodied with flavours of ripe stone fruit and a medium finish. Good everyday white.” – 3.5 Stars, Joelle Thomson, Wine Writer

“Unoaked Cali Chardonnay. Grapes chosen from selected sites around Sonoma and Napa Valleys are brought together, vinified and bottled by the people at Norton Ridge Wines, before being labelled as Lockhart. The team at Lockhart strive to create wines that are great with food, and this Chardonnay is just that. Bursting with peaches, apple, vanilla and a dash of toast it pairs well with everything from crispy pork belly to a pumpkin soup in winter. Best enjoyed now and into next year.” – Wine Central Tasting Panel

In line with the ethos of Lockhart, this Chardonnay was crafted to be food-friendly and straight-forward. With grapes sourced from the Sonoma and Napa counties, and a minimal interventionist winemaking style, this Chardonnay is clean and bright,  and versatile. 
 The palate showcases bright flavours of apple and pear all wrapped in a rich, honeyed texture. Refreshing yet smooth and velvety.
“Lockhart was inspired by the intersection of opportunity and creativity. Inspired and in collaboration with T. Edward Wines, these expressions of Chardonnay, Cabernet & Merlot over deliver for their price point. The wines of Lockhart are a testament to our relationships with growers and vintners in the Valley and beyond.” – Lockhart
