Private Selection Chardonnay 2018 - Robert Mondavi

The Private Selection Chardonnay from Robert Mondavi from the American wine-growing region California is a full-bodied, soft white wine from Chardonnay (95%) and to small parts Muscat and Malvasia.

This wine receives a light golden shining colour by the partial wood storage, which is interspersed with greenish reflexes. The aromatic bouquet reveals fragrant aromas of fresh citrus blossoms, juicy pineapple and ripe peach - accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla, caramel and toast. On the palate, this American white wine is a delight with a beautifully balanced, opulent and soft body, which is surrounded by a powerful, juicy fullness. The acidity harmonises wonderfully with the fruit sweetness. This balance accompanies until the long finish.

Vinification of Mondavi Chardonnay Private Selection

At optimal ripeness, the grapes are harvested and immediately brought to the winery. There the berries are pressed as a whole. The must is divided after pressing: 30% of this wine is fermented in barrels and undergoes biological acid decomposition. After the fermentation process, this white wine matures for 10 months in French and American oak barrels. The remaining 70% are fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.
