Josh Cellars Chardonnay

'This Sauvignon Blanc offers juicy, red grapefruit against a backdrop of lime aromas and flavors. Citrus and fig add to the complexity of this fruit forward, yet sophisticated offering, from Napa Valley. Perfect as an aperitif or with various spicy dishes.'

Region Description

Light to medium bodied and usually dry, European versions are generally not oaky while California Sauvignon Blanc can take on many of the qualities of Chardonnay. France has two classic wine regions for the Sauvignon Blanc gape: Bordeaux and the Loire Valley The Bordeaux wine is called Bordeaux Blanc and the two best known of the Loire wines are called Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. In Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc is sometimes blended with Sémillon.
