"Very bright with golden hues lead to a bouquet of peaches and vanilla, sweet grapefruit and a touch of roasted pineapple. Dry, full-bodied, creamy and fruity, all the classic flavours and textures of this California expression. As the wine opens out in glass the wood flavours begin to develop with a touch of cinnamon and clove, toast and nut, the fruit flavours remain the same, medium acid line and gentle warming alcohol. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Light golden straw in color with bright fruit aromas of pear, melon, and peach. The palate is driven by notes of stone-fruit, banana, vanilla, and a hint of buttered popcorn. Rich and decadent, our Chardonnay can be enjoyed on its own or with a delicious meal.
100% of the fruit for our Chardonnay came from McManis’ very own River Junction AVA, located at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Stanislaus Rivers. The vineyards here sit below the waterline most of the year, resulting in temperatures 2-5 degrees cooler than the surrounding area and a more prominent diurnal temperature swing. Perfect for growing quality Chardonnay.
We harvested between August 4th and September 14th with an average Brix of 24.4. The wine was cold fermented in stainless steel and filtered prior to oak aging. Approximately two thirds of the wine was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation to add complexity and texture.
Food Pairing: Pair this easy drinking Chardonnay with buttery scallops, grilled chicken, or pasta with a cream sauce.
