Seghesio Chardonnay 2023 presents a distinctive interpretation of California's most widely planted grape, created with the signature care and quality synonymous with this historic Sonoma County producer. Leveraging their expertise, Seghesio sources high-quality fruit from select vineyards across California's premier Chardonnay growing regions, allowing them to craft a wine reflecting their desired bright and focused style.
What makes this Chardonnay truly unique is the addition of a small portion of estate-grown Vermentino to the blend – a signature Seghesio twist. This Italian variety contributes an extra layer of aromatic complexity and vibrancy. The winemaking goal is purity of fruit expression, enhanced by lively acidity and balanced by only a subtle kiss of oak, resulting in an elegant and compelling white wine.
The 2023 vintage opens with captivating aromas of juicy fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, yellow apple, and ripe apricot, all underscored by a delicate touch of oak spice. The palate begins with a silky entry that builds into a satisfyingly weighty and creamy mid-palate texture. Energetic acidity provides balance and drive, leading to a long, vibrant finish highlighted by lingering notes of juicy apricot. Versatile at the table, this Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with roast chicken, creamy pasta, or aged Gouda. Enjoy its lively character now through 2027.
