Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

LA CREMA Chard has a seductive nose of tropical fruit and buttery caramel. The palate gives tropical fruit, buttered toast, vanilla and oak. There's a satiny, well-integrated creamy mouthfeel with good acidity and a long rich finish. Always a treat.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

La Crema Chardonnay never disappoints. It's always rich and creamy with decadent mouth-coating finish. Sunny lemon colour and full-bodied with medium acidity. Tropical, lemon curd, peach, sweet spices, butter and nutty. Long honeyed finish. Always a crowd pleaser. Serve with roasted poultry, seafood, shellfish or cheese plate. I enjoy it on it's own. Serve chilled.
Tasted: June 2015
This Monterey Chardonnay benefits from the cooling breezes of the Pacific Ocean and creates a style of tropical fruit and smoky oak. - Community Wine Reviews
