About the wine
Classic, top-shelf Sonoma Chardonnay from an 8-time Winemaker of the Year
- This elegant Chardonnay balances crisp, fresh apple and pear flavors with a creamy, full-bodied texture that glides into a luxuriously long-lasting finish.
- Your funding helped 8-time Winemaker of the Year Daryl Groom harvest world-class Chardonnay from a trio of Russian River vineyards for just the right blend of intense, deeply golden fruit with crisp citrus and apple flavors.
- Daryl added extra polish and a lavish, creamy texture to this balanced white by generously aging the wine in French oak barrels. Now it’s yours to enjoy with an Angel exclusive $13 savings!
Best before
It's best to drink this Chardonnay soon after purchasing, but it will also age nicely for the next 5 years or so.
Serving advice
Serve chilled and open right before serving.
Food match
Salads, seafood or white meats would be perfect for this Chardonnay. It's also delicious with cheese.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Daryl Groom
- Meet Daryl... a 35-year veteran of the wine biz, credited eight-times as Winemaker of the Year, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of 11 visionaries to change the world of wine... and oh yes, he served up his wines at the Oscars and Emmys two years in a row! Safe to say, the man's accomplished.
- Working as the senior white and red winemaker at Penfolds, his 1986 Penfolds Grange was arguably one of the top 3 Granges ever made - 98 points from Spectator and Robert Parker. And now that he works for you, he loves showing off wines from Australia and his California home – Sonoma and Russian River Valley.
- Thanks to your funding, Daryl can focus on doing what he loves – making great wine and sharing great wine. And he selects the best barrels he needs and farms to the best quality. "You are a gift from God to a winemaker," he says. "I knew there were Angels in heaven!"
–– "Groom made Penfolds' flagship red, Grange Hermitage, which has become Australia's most collectible wine." --Wine Spectator, on the $500+ Grange
–– "Groom is my choice for Winemaker of the Year " -- LA Times, Dan Berger
–– "Daryl Groom. The human Tornado. " -- Bill Rice, Chicago Tribune
