Pale straw in colour. Concentrated citrus and white peach fruit flavours are complimented by delicate yeast and subtle spice aromas. The palate is clean and fresh with vibrant fruit flavours, mineral characters and a good lingering finish.

The vintage has aromas of citrus flower, clean linen, and a burst of pineapple. The wine has a pleasant weight on the palate with honey and citrus notes and a light salinity. This wine comes from two growing regions within Santa Barbara County, both of which are influenced by unique soil types and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. It shows more citrus notes, and as the fruit ripens on the vine, it becomes increasingly tropical in expression.

A liquid crowd pleaser, this Chardonnay is a blend of 3 different vintages – 2013, 2012, and 2014. Cuvée is a French word which indicates a blended wine, in this case Peterson’s have always especially crafted a Vintage Cuvée in order to create a Chardonnay that is a consistent, all round easy drinking style. The wine is vibrant pale gold in colour with light green hues.

The generous aromas are of ripe peaches, honey, toast, custard and lifted honeysuckle. The palate is tight and fresh with ripe and generous stone-fruit flavours of peach and white nectarine. The mouth-feel is soft, elegant and creamy with a slight nuttiness. The finish is long and elegant.

Enjoy with poached chicken, pan fried ocean trout, Caesar Salad or another glass. This is a ‘drink now’ style of wine.
