The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
Moniker La Ribera Chardonnay is crafted with a nose full of peach, tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted coconut, setting the stage for a full-bodied white built around ripe white peach and tropical flavors. The palate carries that richness through with a rounded, generous mouthfeel typical of warmer-climate Chardonnay, likely shaped by time in oak that contributes the vanilla and toasted notes found on the nose. This is a Chardonnay for drinkers who enjoy a richer, more decadent style rather than a lean, steely one. Its weight and tropical fruit character make it an excellent match for richer dishes — think roasted chicken with cream sauce, buttered lobster, baked brie, or creamy pasta dishes that can stand up to the wine's body. Serve it lightly chilled, allowing it to warm slightly in the glass so the fuller aromatics of peach and toasted coconut can fully develop. It's a great option for anyone hosting a dinner party who wants a white wine substantial enough to serve alongside a main course rather than just as an aperitif. Keep a bottle on hand for special dinners or whenever a full-bodied Chardonnay is called for. Shop Chardonnay online at Habits Bottle Shop and order this Moniker La Ribera bottle today.
