2024 Morning Fog Chardonnay
Tasting Notes
The Morning Fog Chardonnay stands as the cornerstone of the Wente Chardonnay portfolio, and the 2024 vintage proudly upholds this legacy. Subtle oak nuances of sweet cream and vanilla integrate effortlessly with the bright character of crisp Gala apple, underpinned by hints of fresh-cut pear and lemon curd. On the palate, the wine offers the hallmark weight and depth of classic Chardonnay, balanced by a refined acidity that brings a modest richness while preserving its vibrant, fruit-driven freshness.

Fermentation And Aging
Fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and American oak barrels. Stainless steel tank fermentation retains fresh fruit and aromatics, while barrel fermentation adds mouthfeel and complexity. This Chardonnay was aged for five months in a combination of barrels and stainless steel tanks. Stainless steel aging helps retain bright fruit and acidity. The barrel-fermented portion was aged sur lie. Lees were stirred monthly to build mouthfeel.
