At harvest, our winemaker works closely with the harvest crew, walking the
vineyard rows to hand select fruit at the peak of ripeness. In the cellar,
quality and purity are never compromised at the hands of convenience.
Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay is fermented with wild yeast, native to
our Carneros vineyards, and is bottled unfiltered to preserve the natural
fruit essence and to foster the wine’s unique aroma and flavor.
This exceptional dedication to nurturing the richness that nature provides
allows Newton Vineyard to produce wines of brilliance and purity.
tasting notes
The 2006 Unfiltered Chardonnay is an inviting dark straw hue. This
powerful wine opens with rich crème caramel, butterscotch and fresh
vanilla bean aromas, later revealing baked apple and nutty characters.
Flavors of white peach and caramel with a touch of honey round out this
full-bodied, balanced wine with a lingering creamy finish.
food & wine pairing
This opulent Chardonnay can complement a wide variety of dishes.
Lobster bisque would be a natural match; it would pair well with poached
fish or even pasta with a cream sauce.
