Peter Michael Winery, located in the Knights Valley region of Sonoma County, is renowned for its exceptional Chardonnay wines. The La Carriere Chardonnay is crafted from grapes grown on steep, rocky slopes, which contribute to its distinctive minerality and complexity. This wine is composed entirely of Chardonnay grapes and is known for its vibrant acidity and rich texture. The winemaking process involves fermentation in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of vanilla and toast, while the extended aging on lees enhances its creamy mouthfeel. The flavor profile is characterized by bright citrus and stone fruit notes, complemented by hints of floral and mineral undertones. This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, creamy pastas, and poultry.
