Madrona estate Chardonnay, El Dorado, Sierra Foothills, 2020
$20.55
2019 Chardonnay – Hillside Collection
Madroña Chardonnay is an elegant and complex wine with no one aroma or flavor dominating. Traditional Burgundian barrel fermentation is neatly married with cool tank fermentation, both of which are kept “sur lie” until close to bottling. The selected level of malolactic secondary fermentation depends on the vintage — the goal always being a wine exhibiting exceptional acid balance and a crisp, lingering finish.

The Madrona wine all started by a pioneer who found an exceptional landscape that is divestible to the hillside vineyard,
which was located in El Dorado, California in 1973. It was
originally founded by the Senior Bush who wanted to create
this unique wine that has great acidity with perfect balance to
create this comfort when drinking the wine. This authentic
wine was discovered from a 350 year old Madrona tree, which
represented the location to grow the best terroir of the Madrona vineyards. These Madrona trees are found in the greatest growing regions through El Dorado, Sierra Foothills
