Carta Vieja Chardonnay

"Delicate pale yellow color with faint green reflections. Fresh, clean and intense nose. White currant, fresh herbs and lime aromas are emphasized with fine notes of sweat and asparagus. Strong on the palate with a great balance and texture. Juicy, fresh and crispy acidity, with some minerality. Long and tasty finish." -winemaker

"We source the fruit for our Chardonnay from California's finest marine-influenced vineyards, where cool breezes and fog allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly as they develop rich flavors and complexity. Our winemakers carefully craft our Chardonnay using traditional methods and our exclusive spinning cone process, which gently removes the alcohol while preserving the wine's delicate aromas and flavors. With its deep golden hue, and lively tropical fruit aromas that waft from the glass, our alcohol-removed Chardonnay is elegance personified. Rich, creamy apple flavors mingle with crisp citrus notes on your palate, leading to an enjoyably tart finish. May we pour you a glass?" —winemaker

"Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9.5% alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a splendid long aftertaste. The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the 'mother of all tripels.' This type of beer was first brewed in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more than 50 years." —brewer

"Attractive red color with soft purplish tones. Fruity and typical nose of this variety. Black cherries and berries aromas are mixed with sweet notes of chocolate and mocha. On the palate, it is balanced and with a velvety texture. Bilberries, cassis and mature blackberries appear, supported by soft and elegant tannins that leave a long and pleasant sensation." -winemaker
