Woodbridge - Chardonnay California NV is produced in California with fruit sourced from vineyards selected for balance and varietal clarity. Hand harvesting and small‑lot vinification allow careful control of fermentations, with an emphasis on clean extraction and preservation of fruit integrity.
Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel or small open‑top tanks, depending on the varietal, with pump‑overs or punch‑downs managed to achieve structure without harshness. Aging takes place in a mix of French and American oak barrels, where time in wood refines texture and brings added complexity without masking the grape’s natural profile.
Each vintage reflects a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and precise cellar work, yielding a wine that stands as a faithful expression of both varietal and region.
Woodbridge - Chardonnay California NV is an approachable and fruit-forward white wine, crafted for consistent quality and easy drinkability. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe yellow apple, juicy pear, and sweet peach, often with a hint of tropical fruit like pineapple. Subtle notes of vanilla, a delicate creaminess, and a touch of oak spice can also emerge, contributing to its rounded profile. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture and balanced acidity. Flavors of golden apple, ripe peach, and a touch of citrus zest are interwoven with layers of vanilla, a hint of toasted nut, and a gentle, well-integrated oak influence. The finish is smooth, medium in length, and pleasantly fruity, leaving a lingering impression of sweet fruit and a subtle creaminess.
This versatile Chardonnay is a fantastic partner for a wide array of everyday meals, balancing richness and freshness. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted chicken or turkey, particularly with herb and butter preparations. Its creamy texture and fruit notes also make it an ideal match for pan-seared scallops, grilled salmon, or richer white fish dishes. Lighter pasta dishes with cream-based sauces, chicken or seafood risottos, or even pork tenderloin with an apple chutney would also be lovely pairings. For cheese, consider mild to medium-aged cheeses like brie, Gruyère, or a creamy cheddar, which will complement its oak and fruit profile beautifully. It's an excellent choice for casual dining or gatherings.
