Description
The Prisoner Chardonnay comes from a winery celebrated for its bold and unconventional approach to winemaking. Primarily sourced from the cool, fog-kissed Carneros region of California, this Chardonnay benefits from ideal growing conditions that enhance its quality and flavor. Each 750mL bottle reflects the same iconic, rich, and intense style that made The Prisoner Red Blend famous.While Chardonnay is the main grape, small amounts of aromatic white varieties such as Viognier, Roussanne, or Gewürztraminer are often blended in, depending on the vintage.Full-bodied and opulent, this wine appeals to those who enjoy a lush, creamy style over a crisp one. The aroma bursts with inviting notes of vanilla, pineapple, and apple pie, while the palate delivers flavors of baked apple, crème brûlée, toasted oak, and tropical fruit. Aged in French oak and often stirred on its lees, it achieves a velvety texture with buttery and toasty undertones.Despite its richness and a higher alcohol content of around 14.5%, the wine remains balanced with lively acidity.Inspired by Francisco Goya’s Le Petit Prisonnier, the label embodies the brand’s rebellious spirit. Beloved by many, The Prisoner Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, lobster bisque, halibut in browned butter, or even a gourmet grilled cheese.
