Produced in California’s original Garagiste winery, Cartlidge & Browne Chardonnay is made with high-quality fruits from family vineyards in Clarksburg and Lodi.

It undergoes stainless steel fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation and ageing on yeast lees to achieve a quality second-to-none. With each mouthful, pear, melon and light citrus dance on the palate. Straw, lemon, caramel and hazelnut marry together to create a pleasing aroma. Respectable wine critic Robert Parker questioned why so many ignore these incredible creations from C&B, describing them as “fruit-forward, pure, varietally correct, delicious wines”. Try with salmon or fish cakes to enjoy this gem of a Chardonnay.
