It has deep roots in Burgundy and can be especially compelling when grown from old vines or in limestone-rich sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard, Aligoté generally keeps high acidity and ripens earlier than Chardonnay. It was historically planted in less prestigious sites, but careful growers have shown that it can transmit place and make serious, ageworthy whites when treated with the same attention as more famous varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Aligoté often shows lemon, green apple, white flowers, herbs, and a chalky or saline edge. It’s usually leaner and more linear than Chardonnay, with a brisk, mouthwatering quality that makes it especially good with simple, salty, and fresh foods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Self","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48847562572027,"sku":"00077325","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/23a1047f1f422bc5c20af7d4945b38a8.jpg?v=1778280787","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/kleemeier-aligot-sta-rita-hills-santa-barbara-county-ca-2024","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
