Introduction:
The 2023 Lapis Luna Chardonnay from California’s North Coast is a beautifully balanced white wine that combines bright fruit flavors, a smooth texture, and well-integrated oak. Known for its approachability and freshness, this Chardonnay delivers both richness and vibrancy, making it a versatile choice for a variety of occasions.

Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards across California’s North Coast, including areas influenced by coastal breezes and diverse soil compositions. The combination of warm days and cool nights helps preserve acidity while allowing for full ripening, resulting in a Chardonnay with both freshness and depth.

Appearance:
Pale gold with a slight shimmer, indicating vibrancy and freshness.

Nose:
Aromatic and fruit-driven, with notes of ripe pear, golden apple, and citrus zest. Hints of vanilla, toasted almond, and a touch of honeysuckle add depth and complexity.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a creamy yet refreshing texture. Flavors of baked apple, Meyer lemon, and peach are balanced by crisp acidity and a delicate touch of oak. A subtle hint of butterscotch and spice rounds out the palate, providing warmth without overpowering the fruit.

Finish:
Smooth and lingering, with citrus zest and a gentle touch of vanilla oak spice.

Overall Impression:
A fresh yet slightly creamy Chardonnay that strikes a balance between fruit purity and oak influence. Ideal for pairing with roasted chicken, seafood pastas, grilled vegetables, or creamy cheeses. Best enjoyed within the next few years to appreciate its vibrant character.
