2021 | Cattleya | Chardonnay The Temptress

Notes of ripe pear, lemon peel, brioche, and white flower blossoms bursting from the glass, this wine strikes a unique balance with its old-world counterparts as it showcases restraint on the palate through distinct mineral driven notes and flavors of lemon curd, crushed red apple, and almond skin. The finish presents an immensely textured mouthfeel backed by a pillar of vibrant, youthful acidity.

Producer Information

The icon for Cattleya wines is an embossed orchid representing the Cattleya Trinae. This flower is a national symbol of my native country, Colombia.I grew up in a country where vineyards are virtually non-existent. My exposure to wine was limited only to rare occasions at the dinner table. A few sips occasionally stolen from my father’s wine glass were enough to inspire an all-consuming dream—to become a winemaker. So I packed my bags and left for France. And in that moment I set the course of my life, a never-ending journey pursuing inspirational wines. In 2015, Cattleya was awarded “Winemaker of the Year” by the San Francisco Chronicle, just over a year after being named one of Wine Enthusiast’s “40 Under 40 America’s Tastemakers”.
