{"product_id":"dumol-wester-reach-chardonnay-russian-river","title":"DuMol 'Wester Reach' Chardonnay Russian River Valley - Sonoma, USA 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eWester Reach Chardonnay is a regional cuvée designed to express the broader character of the Russian River Valley rather than a single vineyard site. The wine blends fruit from several carefully selected vineyards across different sub-districts of the appellation, combining the richness of valley-floor vineyards with the freshness and structure of cooler coastal sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend typically incorporates fruit from vineyards such as Flax Estate, El Diablo, Bressay Estate, Cornerstone and Winners Circle, each contributing a different element to the final wine. Flax Estate provides the core of orchard-fruit richness and texture, while hillside and coastal sites introduce acidity, mineral tension and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromatically the wine shows a vibrant spectrum of pear, honeydew melon, lemon sorbet and baked apple, alongside subtle notes of white flowers, mint and sea-spray freshness. On the palate the wine is broad and enveloping, with layered citrus and stone-fruit flavours supported by honeyed lemon, hazelnut richness and a long, flinty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation and ageing take place in French oak barrels for approximately 11 months, followed by a period settling in tank before bottling. This élevage adds depth and complexity while maintaining the wine’s freshness and structural balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a Chardonnay that captures the classic style of the Russian River Valley, combining concentration, aromatic intensity and coastal vibrancy in a multi-layered expression of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WWE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43189591933046,"sku":null,"price":152.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0501\/1062\/files\/DuMOLWesterReachChardonnayRussianRiverValleyCalifornia2022-Photoroom.jpg?v=1773200614","url":"https:\/\/huntershillwineroom.com.au\/products\/dumol-wester-reach-chardonnay-russian-river","provider":"Hunters Hill Wine Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
