Coastal Estates: Chardonnay

Chardonnay

• Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
• Type: White
• Region: California, USA
• Alcohol Level: 13.5%

Wine Description:

Our Chardonnay is always crafted with a balanced approach. To capture the varietal’s inherent freshness and vibrant fruit personality, we ferment half of the wine in stainless-steel tanks at cool temperatures. To integrate the spice character and build body, the other half of the blend is fermented and aged on French oak. Partial malolactic fermentation and extended lees aging add further complexity and weight.

Tasting Note:

Our Coastal Estates Chardonnay shows classic varietal charm, delivering fresh pear and tropical fruit woven together with toasty oak spices. The palate is supple and round, evolving in layers of pineapple, apple and vanilla. Lees stirring and partial malolactic fermentation lend depth and texture to the vibrant flavors, while a splash of Viognier and Riesling adds a floral lift to the fruit flavors. Juicy and long, the wine shows lovely grace and sensibility that make this an everyday favorite.
