Far
Niente Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are renowned for their ability
to age gracefully and become more nuanced and elegant with time. The
Cave Collection allows for the limited release of Far Niente wines with
additional age, for a number of years after the vintage.
As
each vintage is bottled, a percentage is set aside for the Cave
Collection, capped with a specially designed tin capsule and placed is
a special six-bottle wooden box. These efforts assure our wines'
quality and identify its heritage as part of Far Niente's Cave
Collection - an offering of older vintages for your cellar or for
tonight.
Far Niente Chardonnay is renowned for its
ability to age from a young wine of distinction into a mature and
memorable expression of the winemaking art. The wine's lively acidity
and youthful fruit melds into a rich and expansive wine with extended
age.
