About The Wine

Bill Nancarrow is the winemaker for all of the California labels of Greg Norman Estates. Bill was the executive Winemaker for Duckhorn, overseeing all of their brands. Today Bill is able to bring out the varietal characteristics of all of his wines while showcasing the sense of place.  In only a few decades, Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley AVA has become one of the world's most highly regarded areas to grow premium Chardonnay. Combine Bill's expertise in wine with this highly desirable fruit, the result is fireworks.  

Greg Norman spent the majority of his life pursuing excellence on the golf course. After years of success in the professional Golf scene, Greg has taken his pursuit of greatness to the vineyard. Greg Norman Estates produces wine from grapes grown in Australia, New Zealand, and California. The wines are all unique in their own way, but the common thread that connects them all is the consistent quality that can be attributed to Greg's competitive spirit. His unyielding approach to both golf and life earned him the nickname, The Great White Shark. Created from a family passion and strengthened by determination, Greg Norman Estates was founded in 1996. A strong believer in the role of wine as part of an active, easygoing lifestyle, Greg’s aim is to produce approachable yet bold wines to be enjoyed by family, fans and wine enthusiasts alike.

Aging: 10 Months in Seasoned French Oak Barrels and Stainless Steel

Tasting Notes: 100% Chardonnay. Intense aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruits are complemented by soft vanilla and cashew notes. The voluptuous palate reveals layers of sweet yellow fruit, crisp Gravenstein apple and meringue flavors that are balanced by a refreshing line of acidity through the long-lasting finish.
