Introduction:
The 2022 Angeline Vineyards Chardonnay is a vibrant and fruit-forward expression of California Chardonnay, offering a balance of ripe orchard fruit, creamy texture, and refreshing acidity. With its smooth mouthfeel and well-integrated oak influence, this wine is both approachable and versatile, making it a great everyday white wine.

Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards across California, this Chardonnay benefits from a mix of coastal and inland influences. The warm days allow for full ripening, while the cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean help maintain acidity and freshness. The diverse terroir results in a well-rounded wine with both richness and brightness.

Appearance:
Pale gold with bright clarity and subtle green hues.

Nose:
Aromatically expressive, with notes of ripe golden apple, pear, and Meyer lemon, complemented by hints of vanilla, toasted oak, and a touch of buttered brioche. Subtle floral and citrus undertones add freshness.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture. Flavors of baked apple, ripe peach, and tropical fruit are balanced by refreshing acidity. Hints of vanilla, caramel, and toasted almond from oak aging provide depth without overpowering the fruit. The wine’s balance of richness and brightness makes it both easy-drinking and food-friendly.

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

Overall Impression:
A well-balanced and versatile California Chardonnay that offers both fruit purity and a creamy, lightly oaked character. Ideal for pairing with roasted chicken, seafood pasta, creamy risottos, or soft cheeses. Best enjoyed in its youth to appreciate its fresh, vibrant profile.
