2022 Chardonnay

2023 Chardonnay from Santa Lucia Highlands - Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

Chardonnays can be aged in stainless steel or variety of oak barrels, all of which greatly change the perception of the wine on your palate. This 2022 version is full of tropical fruits and asian pear with hints of white peach.  Aged in French Oak and American Oak with just a touch of malic acid remaining.  It has bright fruit with a bit of creaminess that lingers on the finish. This wine tends to disappear very quickly before dinner hits the table. This wine pairs beautifully with Roast Chicken, Steamed Mussels, Salmon and floating down a lazy river.
