2023 La Crema - Chardonnay Sonoma (750ml)

2023 La Crema Chardonnay — Sonoma Coast (750ml)

From the cool, fog-driven shores of the Sonoma Coast AVA, 2023 La Crema Chardonnay embodies a Burgundy-inspired, cool-climate style that emphasizes vineyard character over oak influence. The wine draws on fruit from coastal vineyards across California and Oregon, where slow maturation preserves natural acidity while concentrating fruit flavors. Fermented and aged with restrained oak, it maintains a bright framework that lets the fruit shine, delivering a poised balance that typifies La Crema’s approach to Chardonnay.

• Aromas: Meyer lemon, ripe pear, white flowers, with a whisper of oak beneath
• Palate: Crisp apple, golden peach, tropical pineapple, with a texture reminiscent of graham cracker crust
• Finish: Balanced, lively acidity that carries into a long, refreshing finish

This vintage offers a versatile profile that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Serve with roast chicken, buttery shellfish, or a creamy risotto to highlight the wine’s bright fruit and refined structure.
