'Named after the mist that rolls into the California vineyard early in the morning, this is a product of a winery that can boast of being the godfather of the Californian wine industry. German immigrant C H Wente brought in a chardonnay clone from Burgundy in 1912 that is the source material for 80 per cent of American chardonnay plantings today. Still family run, this their latest chardonnay offering, delivers big time with vibrant green apple and tropical fruit flavours allied to a smidgeon of toasty oak.' John Clarke, The Independent, June 2018
Aromas of apples, lemons, tropical fruits and vanilla, balanced with refreshing minerality. A cracking full-bodied oaked Californian Chardonnay for under £20! - Lucy Harrison, OWC
