Stock Status: Private Order Only Per Case / Size: 750mLml Intro: Silenus Winery, with over 50 years of growing grapes in Napa Valleys Oak Knoll District, is committed to producing wines that define this unique terroir and our estate vineyard. The alluvial soils combined with the varied temperatures create perfect growing conditions for wines that are both elegant and nuanced with incredible depth. Silenus Winery remains committed to producing what we believe are the best wines from the best appellation. Zeus, God of all Gods in ancient Greek mythology, had a son named Dionysus, God of Wine. At Dionysus’ birth Zeus appointed Silenus to teach his young son how to debauch and enjoy the finer things of life – like drinking wine! Together they traveled the world, planting grapevines and raising bees for pollination while always enjoying copious amounts of wine. They carried a fennel stalk topped with a pinecone as a sign of hospitality. The Silenus label incorporates these elements – the grapevine, the fennel staff with a pinecone and the bees. Description: The Silenus 2019 Chardonnay is grown in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley Red Hen Vineyard. The Red Hen Vineyard near the winery consistently produces complex and lush wines that fully showcase the unique Oak Knoll terroir of cool morning fog and mild mid-day temperatures which allow for the longest hang-time and flavor development in the Napa Valley. Vinification: 100% Chardonnay from Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley Harvest date: September 9, 2019 Bottling date: June 10, 2020 Bottle size: 750 mL Titratable Acidity: 5.54 g/L pH: 3.56 Residual sugar: .6 g/L Flavours: Our Chardonnay is a bright straw yellow color. The elegant nose starts with flavors of perfumed lemon blossom opening up in the glass to flavors of fresh tropical pineapple, apricots and lingering notes of brioche. The palate is creamy and exceptionally well balanced with flavors of mandarin, preserved lemon and hazelnuts. With each vintage, our Chardonnay proves timeless to its Oak Knoll roots. Food Pairings: Enjoy this wine with a simple French-style roasted chicken and a light salad. Review: Wine Enthusiast – 93 points |
