Wine Philosophy
Our Unfiltered Chardonnay has a devoted following of wine lovers
who appreciate this rich, unfiltered style of wine. Our Chardonnay
vineyard in Carneros was planted nearly 30 years ago and this
region has since become known for producing superb cool-climate
Chardonnay.
At harvest, our winemaker works closely with the harvest crew,
walking the vineyard rows to hand select fruit at the peak of
ripeness. In the cellar, quality and purity are never compromised
at the hands of convenience. Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay is
fermented with wild yeast, native to our Carneros vineyards, and is
bottled unfiltered to preserve the natural fruit essence and to
foster the wine’s unique aroma and flavor.This exceptional
dedication to nurturing the richness that nature provides allows
Newton Vineyard to produce wines of brilliance and purity.
Tasting Notes
The 2008 Unfiltered Chardonnay is an inviting dark straw hue. This
powerful wine opens with ripe melon and fig notes layered with
allspice, cinnamon and caramel aromas. Flavors of baked pear,
poached apple, caramel and fresh pie crust persist on the lingering
creamy finish.
Food and Wine Pairing
This opulent Chardonnay can complement a wide variety of dishes.
Lobster bisque is a natural match, as well as poached fish or pasta
with a cream sauce.
