Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay
Livermore Valley’s Wente, founded in 1883, is America’s oldest continuously operated family-owned winery. Known for making quality wines at every price point, Wente was the first winery in the state to introduce Chardonnay. Today, Wente Vineyards is led by the fourth and fifth generations of the family. As one of the top 30 wine companies in America several years running, Wente Family Estates has established itself as a unique company given that it is family-owned, and all of its fruit is estate grown and sustainably farmed. Their Riva Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay opens with bold oak aromatics, complemented by rich tropical fruit such as pineapple to white nectarine and sweet baking spices on the palate, finishing with a round mouthfeel.
