Saddlehill Grand Reserve Chardonnay

Saddlehill Grand Reserve Chardonnay is a refined white wine crafted by Saddlehill Winery & Vineyards in New Jersey, United States. Made from carefully selected estate-grown Chardonnay grapes, this barrel-fermented wine embodies the winery’s commitment to expressive, small-batch winemaking. It is bottled at 12.8% alcohol by volume (ABV) and showcases a balance between rich texture and vibrant fruit character.

French oak barrels are used to ferment and age the Grand Reserve Chardonnay, adding layers of complexity and depth to this wine. The flavors of the fresh orchard fruit are enhanced by the delicate hints of vanilla and spice added through this painstaking process. The end product is a well-balanced wine with a refined structure and a lengthy, smooth finish.  

This Grand Reserve Chardonnay harmoniously merges old and new world styles, combining the ripe white fruit, melon, citrus, and hints of toasty coconut of the West Coast with the smokey vanilla, minerality, and slate reminiscent of the Chablis mountainside in the East. Mouth-filling, subtle brioche undertones finish with crisp, lingering apples, apricots, and pears, a powerful yet elegant combination.

Enjoy lightly chilled to enhance its layered profile. Saddlehill Grand Reserve Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, seared scallops, or creamy pasta dishes. It also complements soft cheeses, grilled vegetables, and seafood risottos, making it a versatile companion for a variety of meals.

This white wine represents Saddlehill’s dedication to producing estate-crafted Chardonnays that reflect both the unique terroir of New Jersey and the finesse of barrel fermentation. Its elegant balance of fruit and oak creates a sophisticated wine ideal for both casual enjoyment and special occasions. Cheers!
