Nose
The prelude to a bouquet of wild rose, banana and ripe apricot.
Palate
The palate reveals wonderful softness and an aromatic element supported by round, velvety richness of texture.
Growing Conditions
Winter’s heavy snow and rain left an abundant water supply, while spring brought a succession of fine, sunny days, and summer defied the meteorologists with its fairly moderate temperatures. This meant that the grapes did not ripen too early and harvesting began at the beginning of September

Chardonnay, which is always the first variety to be harvested at Brolio, was gathered between 4 and 7 September.
Bottling
March 2007
Winemaking
At low a temperature in small stainless steel vats Blend Chardonnay
