La Capilla Collection

2008 Paso Robles Chardonnay

The 2008 Daou La Capilla Collection Chardonnay is a remarkable expression of the Paso Robles region, showcasing the unique microclimate and terroir that influence its character. This full-bodied white offers a harmonious balance of high acidity and prominent fruit intensity, delivering vibrant notes of ripe citrus, pear, and a touch of stone fruit. With its well-integrated oak influence, the wine unfolds with layers of creamy texture and hints of vanilla, creating a delightful mouthwatering experience. The dryness of this Chardonnay accentuates its elegance, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings, particularly with dishes that highlight fresh seafood or rich, creamy sauces. The finesse and intricacy of the Daou La Capilla Collection truly reflect the craftsmanship that goes into producing this outstanding wine.

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
