About California Chardonnay
California is one of the world's most famous Chardonnay regions. Warm sunshine and cooling Pacific breezes ripen the grapes fully, giving generous flavours of ripe peach, tropical fruit and citrus. Many California Chardonnays are fermented and aged in oak barrels and go through malolactic fermentation, adding creamy, buttery texture with notes of vanilla and toast.
Buttery and Oaked Styles
If you love a big, buttery Chardonnay, try Bogle, Slow Press, Pacificana Barrel Fermented, Cupcake and Fat Bastard. For a more refined style with balance and length, choose Duckhorn Napa Valley, Robert Mondavi or Matchbook from the Dunnigan Hills.
