Tamber Bey Chardonnay Sans Chene 2019 (750ml) *

The name "Sans Chene" means without oak, and that is the whole idea here: a California Chardonnay from Tamber Bey, vintage 2019, made without the vanilla and toast that barrel aging typically lends the grape. Chardonnay handled this way tends to show its fruit and freshness more directly, leaning on orchard and citrus character rather than wood, which makes it a cleaner, more transparent expression of the variety.
