Jam Cellars, Butter, California, USA, 2016

A rich, bold and satisfying wine aiming to satisfy any Chardonnay cravings. There are notes of movie theatre popcorn, toasted hazelnuts and a hint of tropical fruits, finished with sunkissed lemon peel. The palate is just as lush, with a creamy texture and a touch of zesty citrus and green pineapple. This is excellent for grandma’s creamy chicken fettuccine recipe. Jam Cellars is the brainchild of John and Michelle Truchard. Their brands, Jam and Butter, hit the market at the right time with styles that capture the essence of the featured varietals, and they have achieved strong sales in the US. When they are not busy creating a successful wine brand, the Truchards spend time in the music world promoting and attending shows.
