Winemaker Description
The Morning Fog Chardonnay stands as the cornerstone of the Wente Chardonnay portfolio, and the 2024 vintage proudly upholds this legacy. Subtle oak nuances of sweet cream and vanilla integrate effortlessly with the bright character of crisp Gala apple, underpinned by hints of fresh-cut pear and lemon curd. On the palate, the wine offers the hallmark weight and depth of classic Chardonnay, balanced by a refined acidity that brings a modest richness while preserving it svibrant, fruit-driven freshness.
Memo Summary Notes
The 2024 Wente Vineyards "Morning Fog" Chardonnay is a freshly released vintage from the estate that pioneered Chardonnay in California.Named for the coastal fog that rolls through the Livermore Valley, this wine is known for balancing "New World" fruitiness with a crisp, food-friendly acidity.
Because it has moderate acidity and subtle oak, it is more versatile than heavier Chardonnays:
Seafood: Pan-seared scallops with lemon butter or roast chicken.
Vegetarian: Pasta with cream-based sauces, roasted squash, or mushroom risotto.
Casual: It is a classic "crowd-pleaser" for sipping on its own due to its smooth texture.

Prior Vintage Expert Reviews
(Vintage 2023) Tasting Panel 91 Points | A creamy wash of toasted brioche settles on the palate as perky acidity livens up notes of lemon sorbet, white tea, and fresh melon.
(Vintage 2023) Wine Spectator 90 Points | Vibrant and expressive, with a terrific mix of nutmeg-scented pear, Fuji apple and peach flavors that are delicate and precise but not shy on concentration and generosity. Sleek, precise acidity and hints of lemon meringue linger on the finish.
(Vintage 2023) Wine Enthusiast 89 Points | Broad aromas of pear, honeydew and cantaloupe draw the nose into this freshly styled bottling. There is ample tension to the palate, where those melon flavors are layered in light coconut and jasmine elements.
(Vintage 2022) 92 Points Tasting Panel | Nectarine, peach blossom, and chamomile generously spreads across the palate. Midpalate notes of papaya and gardenia develop into a tropical paradise, followed by a caress of vanilla custard n the balanced finish.
(Vintage 2022) 90 Points Wine Enthusiast | Lively aromas of jasmine and pineapple are tropical, yet show restraint on the nose of this bottling. Those tropical elements add flavors of coconut and plumeria on the palate, as the vibrant acidity causes the wine to dance across the tongue.
