Donum Carneros Chardonnay 2023

This exceptional white wine hails from the United States, specifically from the rolling hills of the Carneros subregion within Sonoma County, California. Established in 2001, The Donum Estate has crafted its reputation on an uncompromising commitment to land stewardship, low yields, and meticulous precision.

Wine Description

The Donum Carneros Chardonnay is a medium straw colour in the glass. The bouquet opens with a sophisticated interplay of lime, orange blossom, and honeydew melon, subtly grounded by a hint of freshly split wood, matchstick, and flinty river stones. On the palate, classic regional notes of Golden Delicious apple and peach seamlessly layer with vibrant kiwi, pear, and wildflower honey.
