A bright and approachable California Chardonnay that balances succulent fruit with a touch of Burgundian restraint. It offers an inviting nose of honeysuckle and lemon peel, leading to a medium-bodied palate of ripe pear, lemon curd, and a hint of vanilla. Region: California. Vintage: 2023. Style: Medium-bodied, fruit-driven, and lightly oaked white wine. Grapes: 100% Chardonnay. Fermentation: The majority of the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh, primary fruit aromas and natural crispness. Filtration: After fermentation, a small portion of richly textured, barrel-fermented Chardonnay is blended back in to add complexity. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling to ensure clarity. Alcohol: 13.5%. Farming: Certified Sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA). DeLoach focuses on eco-friendly practices and minimally intrusive winemaking. Allergens: Contains sulphites Pairing Suggestion: Excellent with meaty white fish like halibut served with a caper-basil vinaigrette. It also pairs wonderfully with mushroom risotto, roast chicken, or a light crab salad
