Ondine Chattan Barrel Select Russian River Chardonnay 2021
About the wine
Savor the flavors of Sonoma's Russian River Valley
- This refined Chardonnay is full of bright flavors like juicy pineapple, juicy white peaches and pears. You’ll love the soft, toasted finish that comes with French oak aging.
- Angel funding helped Ondine harvest pristine Chardonnay from Sonoma’s cool-climate Russian River Valley to capture the region’s signature elegance and freshness.
- As part of Ondine’s exclusive Barrel Select wines, this is a very limited release, so don’t miss the chance to bring home a taste!
Best before
This wine is best enjoyed the first couple of years after release. A bit of cellaring will bring out more of the oak character.
Serving advice
Chill before opening but not too much. No need to allow the wine to breathe or decant prior to serving.
Food match
Chardonnay is a great match for fare like an oyster po' boy on a toasted, buttered sourdough bun, lobster poutine or a fresh romaine Caesar salad (with or without anchovies).
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ondine Chattan
Unmistakably one of the North Coast’s top winemaking talents, Ondine Chattan’s worked for wine institutions – famed wineries like Ridge Vineyards, Cline Cellars, and spent decades running famed Healdsburg winery Geyser Peak.
Does Geyser Peak sound familiar? It should – it’s the long-time winemaking home of one legendary Daryl Groom – and it’s where these decades-long colleagues and friends met. They’re still close… in fact, they might collaborate on exclusive wines now and again.*wink.*
Ondine is awestruck by the wine community Angels have built – and she wants to help it grow. “I truly connect to people through the wines I make,” she said. “The stories of the growers, the vineyards, and the process behind the wine are as vital to me as grapes.”
