An opulent and juicy Californian Chardonnay from the Chalk Hill wine region. Great balance and finesse on this toasty, full-bodied, mouth-watering Chard with ripe red apple, tropical fruit, lemon custard and vibrant citrusy mineral finish. Pair with grilled pork chops.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken in wild mushroom sauce, baked chicken in rose sauce, roast turkey.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Reviews and Ratings

From Sonoma County, California Rodney Strong Chalk Hill 2017 Chardonnay is dry, full-bodied with ripe pear, apple, guava, baking spices and lemon curd rounded off with toasty oak spice. Excellent poise and balance on the Chard. In 1965, Rodney Strong was the first to plant Chardonnay in what was later recognized as the Chalk Hill appellation in Sonoma County. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
