Notes - Jackson Wine Estates International is owned by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke who had a vision to create a global wine company known for its extraordinary premium and luxury wines from many of the greatest wine-growing regions of the world. Fruit for Kendall-Jackson's Highland Estate releases is grown in the family's best mountain, hillside, ridge and benchland vineyards, where the vines produce small, concentrated berries with rich, intense flavors. Each Highland Estates wine captures the terroir of its vineyard site - that particular alchemy where climate, grape variety, soil and site combine to produce the distinct character of the vineyard. This 100% Chardonnay is aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. 100% Barrel-fermented with the lees stirred twice monthly. "Tropical flavors – pineapple, mango, and papaya with a creamy lush rich palate. Notes of cinnamon, candied lime and vanilla crème brûlée create an appealing and lingering sensation." – Randy Ullom, Winemaster.
