Brea Chardonnay Central Coast '23

The Brea Central Coast Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County is crafted entirely in stainless steel to preserve its fruit freshness. This 100% Chardonnay offers vibrant aromas of pear, citrus, and a hint of chalk, with flavors of pineapple, apricot, and nectarine on the palate. The wine is fresh, crisp, and bright, showcasing a pure expression of the varietal with no overpowering oak or butter notes. Sourced from Wheeler Vineyard (planted in 1974) and Kevin Olson Vineyard, both certified organic, this wine highlights the balance between ripe fruit and refreshing acidity. Aged in neutral oak, it offers a clean, crisp finish, making it a perfect pairing with grilled chicken or baked fish. The 2023 vintage benefits from a late harvest due to a record wet season, enhancing the wine's complexity and vibrancy.
