2021 Macrostie Chardonnay — Sonoma Coast (Half Bottle, 375ml)

From the cool, windy Sonoma Coast, the 2021 Macrostie Chardonnay arrives in a convenient half-bottle (375ml) that's ideal for intimate dinners, tasting sessions, or pairing with lighter courses. This provenance offers bright acidity, expressive fruit, and a refined balance that stands up to a range of flavors without overwhelming your palate.

Tasting notes:

• Appearance: pale straw with a lively shimmer in the glass
• Aromas: lemon zest, green apple, and white peach with subtle hints of pear and a touch of almond
• Palate: crisp citrus and orchard fruit carry through to a clean, mineral-tinged finish
• Oak influence: gentle, integrated toast lends a delicate creaminess without masking the fruit

Why this wine stands out:

• Fresh, bright acidity typical of cool-climate Chardonnay, balanced by nuanced oak integration
• Compact, single-serve format that preserves freshness between servings
• Versatile pairing options that elevate both seafood-focused menus and light poultry dishes

Food pairings:

• Seafood: grilled scallops, butter-poached shrimp, or roasted halibut
• Poultry: roasted chicken with lemon, herb butter, or turkey breast with creamy sauces
• Vegetarian: pasta with white wine–based sauces, mushroom risotto, or citrusy salads with goat cheese
• Cheese: soft, fresh cheeses or mild triple crème varieties

Serving and storage tips:

• Serve chilled at approximately 50–54°F (10–12°C) in a tulip Chardonnay glass to concentrate aromas
• Open and enjoy within the next 12–18 months for peak fruit freshness and vibrant acidity
• Keep bottle in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight to maintain freshness in the half-bottle format
