Cannonball, Chardonnay, 2024 Glera Grapes from the rolling hills

Grapes from the rolling hills of Italy yield a wine that’s both elegant and smooth

while the acidic flavours of redcurrants and pomegranates prevents the considerable sweetness from becoming overpowering

On the palate it is round and delicate

the mouth is decidedly sweet

and most quintessentially Leyda Valley Sauvignon Blanc made by Vina Leyda

Cannonball, Chardonnay, 2024 Glera Grapes from the rolling hillsCannonball does a beautiful job of making a friendly, easygoing and fun Chardonnay, with scents of ripe golden apples, juicy pears and just a hint of citrus. Soft, juicy and creamy textured, this is a wine that is more about the fruit than the oak the wood is there, but very much in the background. Overall, the impression is of orchard fruits, ripened to perfection in the benign California sunshine.
