Introduction:
The 2023 Luminara Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay Napa Valley is a carefully crafted, alcohol-removed white wine designed to capture the familiar comfort and elegance of Napa Valley Chardonnay while supporting a mindful, zero-proof lifestyle. Bright, fruit-driven, and gently textured, it offers varietal authenticity and balance without alcohol, making it a refined option for food pairing or standalone enjoyment.

Terrior:
The base wine is sourced from Napa Valley vineyards, where warm daytime temperatures encourage ripe orchard-fruit expression and cool nights preserve acidity and aromatic lift. Napa’s diverse alluvial and volcanic soils contribute fruit concentration and textural weight. Following traditional fermentation, alcohol is gently removed to retain varietal character, freshness, and balance while maintaining a Chardonnay-like profile.

Appearance:
Bright pale gold with soft straw highlights and clear brilliance. Light to moderate viscosity suggests freshness with subtle texture.

Nose:
Clean and expressive, offering aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest, and ripe melon. Subtle secondary notes of vanilla cream, toasted almond, and soft baking spice hint at classic Chardonnay styling.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Flavors of apple, pear, and citrus are complemented by gentle creaminess and faint oak-derived notes. Acidity remains lively, providing balance and preventing sweetness or heaviness, while tannins are minimal and soft.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with lingering orchard fruit, citrus peel, and a light creamy impression. The finish is balanced and approachable, designed for easy enjoyment.

Food Pairings:

• Meat: Roast chicken with herbs; turkey breast with lemon; grilled shrimp

• Vegetarian: Creamy pasta primavera; roasted cauliflower; squash risotto

• Charcuterie Board: Triple-cream Brie; mild Havarti; Marcona almonds; apple slices

Overall Impression:
Bringing together its Napa Valley sourcing, pale golden appearance, fresh orchard-fruit aromatics, smooth and gently creamy palate, and clean, refreshing finish, the 2023 Luminara Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay delivers a convincing and food-friendly Chardonnay experience without alcohol. It pairs best with lighter poultry dishes, creamy vegetarian fare, and soft cheeses, offering balance, familiarity, and versatility.
