Wine Description
The 2023 Unoaked Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of the varietal, showcasing a lively bouquet of fall apple, Bosc pear, and fresh lemon, complemented by a subtle hint of buttered toast. On the palate, it offers a crisp and refreshing experience, with the fruit-forward character leading to a clean, enduring finish. Crafted without oak influence, this Chardonnay maintains its pure, fruit-driven profile, making it an exemplary representation of the unoaked style.

Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with dishes that benefit from a touch of acidity to balance their richness. Consider serving it alongside grilled chicken, seafood pasta, or a fresh goat cheese salad. Its crisp profile also complements vegetarian dishes and light appetizers, enhancing the overall dining experience.
