The 2022 Angeline Vineyards Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in the Russian River Valley, Santa Barbara, and Mendocino Counties. This diversity in terroir brings forth a multifaceted and compelling wine that is greater than the sum of its parts, deftly balancing richness with acidity.
Stainless steel fermented and aged sur lie for six months in new French and American oak barrels, this chardonnay is medium-to-full-bodied, with aromas and flavors of Bosc pear, lemon zest, and pineapple, with subtle notes of vanilla and baking spices on the vibrant finish.
