Newton Chardonnay 2018 Unfiltered Moët Hennessy

The Icon of Napa Valley Power Newton was a pioneer in "unfiltered" winemaking, a technique that preserves the wine's natural soul and incredible depth. This 2018 Chardonnay is a powerhouse; it is rich, opulent, and unashamedly bold. Expect a complex nose of baked Fuji apples, vanilla bean, and toasted hazelnuts. Because it is unfiltered, it possesses a unique, "chewy" texture and a remarkably long, buttery finish, all while maintaining a spine of fresh acidity.

• Profile: Poached pear, crème brûlée, and toasted oak.

• Pairs With: Lobster thermidor, roasted chicken with butter and herbs, or truffle pasta.

• Why Buy: A "cult" Chardonnay for those who want maximum flavour and complexity.
