Jovita's Selection

Tasting Notes

Fragrant honeysuckle, succulent peach nectarine, and subtly toasted oak, accompanied by a delicate touch of mineral, embrace the senses. The palate exudes invigorating, vibrant flavors of citrus, crisp green apple, and a gentle sprinkling of honeysuckle. Luxuriously creamy, opulent, and intricately layered with complexity, the finish instills a deep yearning for an encore.

Story

Named for the wife of the Count's son, Arpad, and the daughter of General Mariano Vallejo, Jovita’s Selection Chardonnay is harvested from two sandstone soil vineyards in Sonoma, Gap’s Crown and Durell Vineyards. The grapes were hand-harvested and whole cluster pressed and aged for 18 months in 22% new French oak before being bottled unfiltered.
