<h1>2006 Chardonnay ‘El Novillero Vineyard’ Magnum -- Neyers Vineyards Shopping Cart</h1> $89.00 <img src="https://www.nexternal.com/neyers/images/El%20Novillero%20Chard%20Label2.jpg" align="right" alt="2006 Chardonnay ‘El Novillero Vineyard’ Magnum" name="2006 Chardonnay ‘El Novillero Vineyard’ Magnum" border="0" hspace="10" /> Novillero Vineyard in the Sonoma County Carneros District; whole-cluster pressed, then fermented in 60-gallon French oak barrels for almost six months, with periodic yeast lees stirring (battonage). Like all of our Chardonnay bottlings, this wine is completely naturally made. The wine was fermented using indigenous, wild yeast. A secondary (malo-lactic) fermentation occurred without the addition of laboratory grown bacteria. Finally, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration. The long 2006 growing season allowed for full maturity of the fruit, and with the crop kept well below two tons per acre, the mineral flavors that come naturally to the grapes on the gravelly parcel are subtly highlighted. The wine is rich and creamy but well balanced, and has developed a fascinating ‘butterscotch’ component. We’ve already enjoyed several bottles but that shouldn’t dissuade you from cellaring a few. A 2001 El Novillero Chardonnay opened for some guests recently was still in excellent condition, having developed the lemon peel and toasted bread characteristics we love in mature White Burgundy. <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> </ul> Other products in the category <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Category4" title="Wine in Magnum Bottles">Wine in Magnum Bottles</a>: <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product27" title="2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Neyers Ranch-Conn Valley Magnums">2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Neyers Ranch-Conn Valley Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product117" title="2010 Pinot Noir 'Roberts Road' Magnum">2010 Pinot Noir 'Roberts Road' Magnum</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product48" title="2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Neyers Ranch-Conn Valley Magnum">2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Neyers Ranch-Conn Valley Magnum</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product93" title="2006 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums">2006 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product96" title="2008 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums">2008 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product44" title="2005 AME Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums">2005 AME Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product68" title="2006 AME Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums">2006 AME Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product94" title="2007 AME Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums">2007 AME Cabernet Sauvignon Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product91" title="2006 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Merlot Magnums">2006 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Merlot Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product92" title="2008 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Merlot Magnums">2008 Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Merlot Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product89" title="2009 Grenache Rossi Ranch Magnums">2009 Grenache Rossi Ranch Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product95" title="2009 Old Lakeville Road Syrah Magnums">2009 Old Lakeville Road Syrah Magnums</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product30" title="2005 Merlot 'Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley' Merlot Magnum">2005 Merlot 'Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley' Merlot Magnum</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers/Product38" title="2006 Old Lakeville Road Syrah Magnum">2006 Old Lakeville Road Syrah Magnum</a></li></ul> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/neyers" title="Neyers Vineyards Products">Neyers Vineyards Products</a> <a href="http://www.neyersvineyards.com">Neyers Vineyards wine</a> Neyers Vineyards <a href="http://www.nexternal.com" title="shopping cart">shopping cart</a> powered by Nexternal
