The Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay is a quintessential expression of California Chardonnay, delivering a beautiful balance between vibrant fruit and a creamy, rich texture. This wine perfectly captures the character of the Livermore Valley, where cooling morning fog helps preserve the grape’s natural acidity and freshness.
Established in 1883, Wente Vineyards is celebrated as America’s oldest continuously operated, family-owned winery. They are true pioneers of the Chardonnay grape in California, with the legendary Wente clone forming the genetic foundation for a vast majority of the state’s plantings. The family’s longstanding commitment to sustainable viticulture and quality winemaking has solidified their iconic status.
This Chardonnay presents a lovely pale golden hue in the glass, with inviting aromas of crisp green apple, tropical fruit, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, it is wonderfully balanced with a creamy mouthfeel that showcases flavors of vanilla, ripe pear, and a hint of butterscotch. A bright acidity provides a clean, lingering finish that makes this Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay both refreshing and complex.
For the best experience, serve the Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay lightly chilled, around 10-12°C (50-54°F). It is an excellent companion to roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, grilled salmon, or a classic Caesar salad.
