DuMOL Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay: A Californian Masterpiece from Carneros

The Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay by DuMOL is a luxury white wine that perfectly captures the cool-climate elegance of the Carneros AVA, a region cooled by the maritime influence of the San Pablo Bay. This single-vineyard expression is revered for its 'Grand Cru-like depth and elegance,' offering an intellectual alternative to the richer styles of Napa.

The Sommelier's Notes

• Aroma: Distinctive aromas of oyster shells, sliced apples, and flinty minerality are complemented by richer notes of toasted brioche, lemon curd, and white flowers.
• Taste: Voluminous and dense on the palate, yet energized by a 'shimmery acidity' and a savoury, tangy core. The texture is silken and chewy, providing exceptional mouthfeel and concentration that builds to a long, lively finish.
• Style: A world-class Chardonnay that balances the power of California fruit with the structure and finesse of Burgundy.

Food Pairing & Serving

For a truly memorable experience, serve this wine slightly warmer than standard whites, around 13°C. It is an ideal accompaniment to British celebratory dining.

• Food Pairings: Roast Chicken with a rich Garlic Cream Sauce, Turbot or Dover Sole Meunière, Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pie, or a selection of fine English cheeses like Aged Cheddar or Somerset Brie.
