2022 Head High - Chardonnay Sonoma County

2022 Head High Chardonnay — Sonoma County

Head High, founded in 2015 by Bill Price, captures Sonoma County's cool-climate prowess with a surfer's spirit. Sourced from growers across Sonoma County who share a commitment to quality and coastal character, the 2022 Chardonnay reflects the region's diversity rather than a single site. A portion of proceeds supports ocean conservation efforts, tying the label's ethos directly to its roots.

Winemaking: The Chardonnay was fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel with malolactic fermentation intentionally blocked to preserve brightness and natural acidity. This unoaked style keeps the fruit at the forefront while maintaining a clean, dry finish.

Tasting notes: This wine sits in a medium- to full-bodied frame, delivering ripe pear, green apple, and white peach, complemented by notes of melon and citrus zest. A crisp, lively backbone supports a refreshing, dry finish.

Food pairings: It pairs nicely with grilled shellfish, roast turkey, or a simple herbed pasta.
