Indian Wells Chardonnay 2021 is Chateau Ste Michelle's richer, fuller Washington Chardonnay. Winemaker Katie Nelson describes it as specially selected and carefully aged, balancing tropical fruit and creamy butterscotch flavours with a hint of toasted oak. It is 100% Chardonnay at 14% ABV from Washington State.
The texture is the point here. 85% of the wine was aged sur lie for 8 months, which knits the fruit and oak together and gives the palate a rounder, richer mouthfeel. If you like your Chardonnay generous rather than lean, this is the style to reach for.
Serve it lightly chilled, not ice cold, so the creamy side shows. It suits roast chicken, buttery seafood, creamy pasta and grilled prawns, and it holds up well at a long lunch. Ralph's imports Chateau Ste Michelle and delivers across Metro Manila.
