2024 Enfield Wine Co. - Chardonnay Citrine (750ml)

California Chardonnay that will make you rethink California Chardonnay.

John Lockwood built Enfield Wine Co. on a simple but radical idea: let the vineyard do the talking. No manipulation, no formula — just small, carefully selected sites farmed by independent growers, and winemaking guided entirely by what the fruit demands. The result is a lineup that critics and sommeliers consistently praise for being strikingly fresh without sacrificing seriousness.

The Citrine is classic, remarkably refreshing, and flows effortlessly from start to finish — seamless grace in every sip. T Bright, briny, and mineral with citrus intensity, excellent mid-palate, and a long finish — balancing shimmering acidity, delicate creaminess, and surprising depth. 

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. Criminally underpriced for what's in the bottle.
