Introduction:
The 2023 Olema Chardonnay is a vibrant, fruit-forward white that balances California ripeness with refreshing acidity. Crafted for approachability, it offers a layered profile that’s equally suited to everyday enjoyment or pairing with a variety of dishes.

Terrior:
Sourced from select coastal vineyard sites in Northern California that preserve freshness. Predominantly clay-loam soils contribute structure, while maritime influences maintain natural acidity.

Appearance:
Bright straw-gold with youthful clarity and light viscosity.

Nose:
Aromas of ripe pears, apples, and pineapples mingle with lemon curd, vanilla beans, and a hint of toasted brioche.

Palate:
The medium-bodied palate features flavors of Golden Delicious apples, pears, and Meyer lemons, complemented by subtle tropical fruit notes and a hint of baking spices. 

Finish:
The finish is long and clean, with notes of ripe orchard fruits and a touch of minerality.

Press:
91 points, James Suckling:
"A mildly spicy, very supple wine that should please a crowd. Part barrel-fermented, using grapes from coastal counties in Northern California. Notes of ripe pears, apples, nutmeg, butter, and a touch of vanilla bean. Medium-bodied with good acidity."

Overall Impression:
An approachable yet polished chardonnay with a crowd-pleasing mix of fruit, creaminess, and freshness. Ideal with roast chicken, seafood in butter sauce, creamy pastas, or as a standalone glass.
