2019 Jamieson Ranche Light Horse Chardonnay

Jamieson Ranch Vineyards in Nappa Valley, United States, is more than just a producer of great wines. Their "Light Horse" label is a metaphor for the winery's unique program of animal therapy for wine enthusiasts, war veterans and children with disabilities. So making beautiful wines and being actively involved in society go hand-in-hand

This Californian Chardonnay has a very good price-quality ratio. This Chardonnay is wonderfully full and creamy, but also has a very pleasant acidity that makes this wine drinkable. The use of wood gives off the flavors of hazelnut and caramel which also make the wine very pleasant and complex. The California Light Horse Chardonnay has matured for 12 months, of which 10% in new French oak. This provides a nice wood tone without being excessive and keeps the wine nice and fresh and above all elegant. In the nose we mainly smell notes of apricots, juicy pear, peach and honeysuckle, hints of pineapple and orange peel. In the mouth the wine is round and soft with a long, rich finish like warm chestnuts. The beautiful acidity makes this well-formed and satisfying wine fresh to the last drop.

This Chardonnay can be combined well with various dishes. Try this wine with a nice piece of fried fish, a dish with shellfish, or even a light meat dish.
