2024 Enfield Wine Co. - Chardonnay Citrine (750ml)
2024 Enfield Wine Co. Chardonnay Citrine (750ml)
California Chardonnay that challenges expectations. John Lockwood built Enfield Wine Co. on a simple but radical idea: let the vineyard talk for itself—no manipulation, no formula—just small, carefully selected sites farmed by independent growers, and winemaking guided entirely by what the fruit demands. The Citrine embodies this philosophy: classic, remarkably refreshing, and flows effortlessly from start to finish—seamless grace in every sip.
Tasting notes
- Bright, briny, and mineral with citrus intensity, excellent mid-palate, and a long, expressive finish that balances shimmering acidity with a touch of delicate creaminess.
- Two distinct personalities reveal themselves: first, slightly reductive, flinty and mineral with a zesty mouthfeel; then more expansive, tropical-fruited and juicy with crème fraîche and chive on the finish.
- Think Chablis energy with California sunshine.
Style, details, and what it pairs with
The Citrine stays refreshingly poised without sacrificing depth, offering structure that shines alongside thoughtful food choices. It’s a versatile pairing wine that elevates seafood-forward dishes and lighter poultry preparations while still carrying enough character to stand on its own with a warm evening glass.
- Best with oysters and shellfish, lemon-butter sauces, and grilled white fish.
- Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, creamy risottos, asparagus, and soft-rind cheeses like triple-crème.
Why this Chardonnay stands out
Criminally underpriced for what's in the bottle, Citrine captures the tension between bright acidity and mineral depth, driven by vineyard-first winemaking with no manipulation and a genuine respect for what the fruit demands.
