Crafted by winemaker Joe Wagner, one of California’s most innovative and influential names, it brings together fruit from multiple vineyards for a layered, balanced style with a polished oak signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a beautiful light golden color that hints at both freshness and depth. The nose is immediately appealing, with aromas of pear, baked apple, pineapple, and a subtle lift of citrus that keeps everything bright and vibrant.\n\nOn the palate, the wine opens with notes of Fuji apple, pear, and honeydew melon, followed by gentle oak, a creamy texture, and a clean citrus finish. Thanks to its structure and balanced use of French oak, it should drink well now and continue to develop gracefully over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay grapes come from several vineyard sites along the Pacific Coast in Sonoma Carneros, where the cool maritime influence helps preserve freshness and natural acidity while building ripe fruit character. The fruit is harvested from different parcels to capture a range of expressions, then whole-cluster pressed and matured for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 50% new oak adding complexity and texture without overwhelming the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Chardonnay is a natural match for roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, grilled lobster, or rich pasta with mushrooms and butter-based sauces. Serve it lightly chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a little time in the glass will help the oak and fruit open up beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTuli is one of Joe Wagner’s newer projects, but it already reflects the same ambition and craftsmanship that have made him a major force in California winemaking. Wagner is known for creating wines that combine broad appeal with strong vineyard character, and Tuli continues that approach with a polished, modern style that has quickly gained attention for its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tuli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252045795665,"sku":"FW-4915","price":26.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/4915.png?v=1783442922","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/tuli-chardonnay-2021","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
