Born and raised in England, professional golfer Luke Donald has an affinity for the great white Burgundies of France. This is the inspiration behind his Luke Donald Collection Carneros Chardonnay, a wine that reflects Luke’s passion for elegant, well-balanced Chardonnay. Luke Donald Collection wines have their origin in a longstanding friendship between top ranked pro golfer Luke Donald and fine wine professional Bill Terlato. Whether on the golf course of in the vineyard, both men share a similar passion for excellence. Luke plays an active role in crafting his wines; his personal involvement in the blending makes the wines original, unique and an expression of his own personality and style.
From the winemaker – “Wonderful aromatic profile of pear, citrus blossom and a hint of caramel. Balanced acidity and great minerality. This wine has a long, bright finish with notes of vanilla, layered with pear, honey and a hint of caramel.”
This wine is best served with grilled or saute’ed pork chops, pork tenderloin, grilled or saute’ed veal, veal marsala, scallopine or roasted veal.
