Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Buttery Chardonnay

Description

About Woodbridge

Robert Mondavi established his namesake winery in 1966 with a vision to create Napa Valley wines that would stand in the company of the world’s finest. He chose To Kalon Vineyard in the heart of the Napa Valley as the home for Robert Mondavi Winery. This first-growth vineyard, located in Oakville, California, is renowned for producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the world, as well as for its Sauvignon Blanc grapes, from which Mr. Mondavi crafted his signature wine, Fumé Blanc. Mr. Mondavi believed that wines should reflect their origins, that they are the product of the soil, the climate, and the careful stewardship of those precious resources. He also believed in combining the newest techniques and technology with time-honored winemaking traditions. Our winemaking and vineyard teams are proud to carry on our founder’s mandate to always strive higher, to pursue Robert Mondavi’s goal of excellence with the same passion and innovative spirit, moving forward with programs that break barriers and open new frontiers. Winemaker Geneviève Janssens and her team consistently make world-class Napa Valley wines that are recognized globally for their exceptional quality. Drawn to Mr. Mondavi’s vision for the Napa Valley, Geneviève left her native France and joined the winery in 1978. Geneviève has received one of the industry’s highest honors, being named Wine Enthusiast’s 2010 Winemaker of the Year. Robert Mondavi Winery — a Napa Green Certified winery — has demonstrated a deep commitment to both the environment and the local Napa Valley community since the winery’s inception. In partnership with the Napa County Resource Conservation District, Robert Mondavi Winery created the Napa Sustainable Winegrowing Group (NSWG), which holds workshops on water conservation, quality improvement, cover cropping, erosion control, pest management, and more. Robert Mondavi winery also was the first to receive an Innovator Award from California’s Environmental Protection Agency; the winery’s natural farming and cultivation of vineyards pay heed to overall wine quality as well as to impact on the greater environment.

California Wines

California wine production has a rich viticulture history since 1680 when Spanish Jesuit missionaries planted Vitis vinifera vines native to the Mediterranean region in their established missions to produce wine for religious services. In the 1770s, Spanish missionaries continued the practice under the direction of the Father Junípero Serra planted California’s first vineyard at Mission San Juan Capistrano.

The state produces about ninety percent of the American wine supply and is the fourth largest wine producer among the world’s independent nations. It has more than 1,200 wineries ranging from home-grown and small boutiques to large corporations with international distribution.

Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Buttery Chardonnay White Wine offers a richer, creamier, more buttery profile than the classic Woodbridge Chardonnay. Opening with brown spice and toasty vanilla aromas, this California wine features crisp, refreshing flavors of golden delicious apple and tropical fruit. This chardonnay wine is fermented in stainless steel with a portion of the blend on oak, resulting in more of the rich, creamy flavor you love. Enjoy this California white wine with light dishes and salads, roasted nuts, and heartier dishes like fettuccine carbonara and grilled salmon. Or enjoy a glass of wine on its own, savoring the creamy mouthfeel and long finish. For best flavor, chill this 1.5 liter bottle of wine for at least two hours before serving at approximately 48 degrees. Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi wines are fruit-forward and balanced, making them ideal for everyday enjoyment.
