For our Premium Whites Gift Set, we went classic: Chardonnay from Santa Rita Hills , CA and Sancerre from the Loire Valley, France.
1. Brewer Clifton, Chardonnay, Santa Rita Hills AVA, CA 2022 $29.99
This Chardonnay is from one of our favorite California producers of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Produced from 100% whole cluster pressed fruit, the wine is always aged in 100% neutral French oak. The fruit shines through, with aromas and flavors of lemon, orange zest, lime, ginger, Jasmine and mineral. Vibrant acidity keeps it balanced and age-worthy.
2. Jean-Marie Reverdy & Fils, Sancerre, Loire Valley, FR 2023 $29.99
This white wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc in one of the absolute best places to grow this grape in the world, the Sancerre Appellation in the Loire Valley of France. Sancerre has become a favorite luxury Sauvignon Blanc for U.S. wine drinkers lately, and we can't argue with the logic. Crisp, fruit forward and typically seeing no oak, the wines from this region possess a certain mineral and herbaceous quality that sets them apart from their counterparts in the "New World". A tremendous wine so serve with shellfish, or grilled white fish topped with lemon and herbs.
