La Crema Saralee Chardonnay 2021

In their words -  Aromas of lemon blossom, apple, white peach, and subtle barrel spice notes are followed by flavors of pear, tangerine, and lemon custard.

On the palate, the wine is pure, and focused with gravelly-mineral undertones and a juicy yet balanced acidity.

At the heart of the Russian River Valley, sits a majestic vineyard honoring the late Saralee Kunde, one of the region’s most beloved and respected winegrowing visionaries. Awash with rustic charm, the 200-acre vineyard features a variety of Chardonnay clones on a diverse spectrum of rootstocks as well as eight different soil types – mostlysandy/gravelly, or clay loams. This complex vineyard dotted with flower gardens and oak groves produces truly spectacular fruit.

Our original name, La Crema Vinera, means “best of the vine,” setting the standard for all we do since 1979. Our family-owned and operated winery focuses exclusively on cool-climate appellations. We’re continually exploring these very special regions —passionate in our belief that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines.
