Chardonnay

2021 Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay

Peju Chardonnay from the renowned Dry Creek Valley is a delightful expression of this classic varietal. This white wine exhibits a luscious and medium-bodied character, with a sublime balance that makes it exceptionally food-friendly. The acidity is vibrant and refreshing, contributing to the wine's lively profile, while the fruit intensity shines with prominent notes of pear, apple, and subtle hints of tropical fruits. The winemaking process includes oak aging, which adds a layer of complexity with soft, buttery nuances and a touch of vanilla. The wine is bone dry, allowing the natural fruit flavors to take center stage, creating an elegant and enjoyable experience with every sip. Peju's commitment to quality is reflected in this vintage, making it a memorable addition to any gathering or a perfect companion for a range of dishes.

Region:


Dry Creek Valley

Dry Creek Valley AVA is located around 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Sonoma County. This small region may only be two miles wide, but it's a treasure trove of diversity thanks to its varied landscape and complex geological history. Flanked by rivers and lakes, the region's vineyards stretch from sun-soaked hillsides to cool valley floors. Its deep, gravelly soils are the perfect home for California's favorite red grape varieties, particularly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Sauvignon Blanc thrives in cooler sites.
