2023 Reserve Chardonnay, Sonoma Valley
95% Chardonnay, 3% Arneis, 2% Viognier
The wine opens with a warm and inviting nose of baked peach and cinnamon pie-crust. On the palate, the wine’s texture is lush and full-bodied, delivering juicy flavors of ripe peach balanced by the crisp acidity of a Granny Smith apple. The experience culminates in a bright, zesty citrus finish.

Vineyard Notes
Situated in the heart of Sonoma Valley, Kunde benefits from a surprising range of vineyard terroirs. This Reserve blend is meticulously assembled from Chardonnay barrels that best complement each other to form a premier wine. Always aiming to identify barrels that contribute a lush texture, harmonious acidity, nuanced oak influence, and vibrant fruit expression.
Winemaker Notes
The reserve blend is a puzzle to put together—finding the barrels from different Chardonnay lots which work best together to make this premiere blend. We are always searching for barrels that show a lush mouthfeel, balanced acid, expressive oak and are fruit forward.
Food Pairing Notes
Our Chardonnay pairs perfectly with both baked swordfish with lemon caper sauce or a nice fettuccine alfredo. The wine’s creamy, full-bodied texture stands up to the richness of both dishes, and its balanced acidity cuts through the fat to create a pleasing contrast.
