Profile

The 2023 Bread & Butter California Chardonnay is a quintessential example of the rich, creamy style that has made California Chardonnay a favorite among wine enthusiasts. Crafted with care, this wine showcases the harmonious balance between ripe fruit flavors and nuanced oak influences.

On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of vanilla bean and almond husk, reminiscent of a decadent crème brûlée. These creamy notes are complemented by hints of tropical fruit, adding a layer of complexity. The palate is rich and smooth, featuring flavors of baked apple, lemon curd, and tropical fruit, all wrapped in a velvety texture that leads to a long, satisfying finish .

The wine's structure is enhanced by partial malolactic fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, 40% of which are new, imparting subtle spice and toast notes that elevate the overall profile . With an alcohol content of 13.5%, it maintains a balanced acidity that makes it versatile for food pairings.

Critically acclaimed, the 2023 vintage received a 91-point rating from Natalie MacLean, who praised its full-bodied, lush, and silky character, noting flavors of ripe pear, apple, creamery butter, toast, vanilla, caramel, and toasty oak spice 

Ideal pairings for this Chardonnay include creamy pastas, roasted poultry, and rich seafood dishes. Its approachable yet sophisticated profile makes it a delightful choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.
