2024 Robert Mondavi Buttery Chardonnay California – An unapologetically rich, opulent expression of the style, leaning into the classic Californian profile of ripe fruit, generous oak and creamy texture. It’s a crowd-pleasing, hedonistic take on Chardonnay, built for immediate enjoyment.Expressive and indulgent, the nose opens with ripe pineapple, mango and baked apple, layered with vanilla bean, butterscotch and toasted coconut. Notes of caramel, sweet spice and a hint of creme brulee add to the wine’s overtly luxurious aromatic profile.Full-bodied and plush, the palate is driven by ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours wrapped in a rich, creamy texture. Pronounced notes of butter, vanilla and sweet oak dominate the mid-palate, balanced by a soft line of acidity that prevents the wine from feeling overly heavy. The finish is long, smooth and decadent, with lingering notes of caramelised fruit and spice.Best suited to rich, comforting dishes such as roast chicken with creamy sauces, lobster with drawn butter, mac and cheese, or corn-fed pork. Its weight and flavour intensity also make it an excellent match for dishes featuring butter, cream and subtle sweetness.Single Price: $25.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $19.99
