The Story
Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay is the winery’s flagship white and America’s top-selling Chardonnay, crafted as a consistent regional blend from California’s cool coastal vineyards. The winemaking process is notably artisanal for its scale, utilizing 100% barrel fermentation and sur lie aging with monthly bâtonnage (lees stirring) to create its signature velvety, mouth-filling texture. It presents a brilliant golden hue with an expressive aromatic profile of pineapple, mango, and papaya, interwoven with citrus zest and honeyed notes. On the palate, it harmonizes rich tropical fruit flavours with a refreshing acidity, finishing with a lingering "kiss" of toasted oak, vanilla, and butter.
