De Loach Chardonnay Heritage Reserve

Details

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.
