Shafer Vineyards, Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay, Napa Valley 2023 En Primeur - Case of 6
This represents the warm days and cool nights of Carneros, offering up notably bright fruit notes of lemon citrus (fruit and peel), pineapple, stone fruits, hints of orange flowers, honey, ginger, toast, and a certain stony minerality. This is, as always, a generously proportioned Chardonnay, it is neatly structured and part of the blend spends time in 40% new French oak. They eschew malolactic fermentation and the acidity is absolutely spot-on! 0-7 years

About En Primeur
Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines
Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
