TASTING NOTE: As with the Nimbus Sauvignon Blanc, this Casablanca chardonnay comes exclusively from the Santa Isabel Vineyard (now called Nimbus) planted on steep slopes in Western Casablanca and is the winery's main source of fruit. This chardonnay is full of fresh notes. With its intense, piercing acidity, this wine makes no concessions to the tropical fruit that's often associated with the valley; what's here instead is crunchy citrus fruit.
