Sac Chardonnay

2019 Clarksburg Chardonnay

The George Phillips Sac Chardonnay from the 2019 vintage is a delightful expression of Chardonnays hailing from the famous Clarksburg region. Its pale straw color provides a visual hint of the freshness that awaits. This wine is characterized by its medium body, striking a perfect balance that gives it a satisfying presence on the palate without being overly heavy. Featuring a moderate acidity, it delivers a refreshing crispness that beautifully complements its fruit-forward profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious flavors of ripe apple, pear, and hints of tropical fruits. The wine is dry, allowing its vibrant fruit flavors to shine through, and is rounded out by subtle notes of vanilla and oak from careful aging. A truly charming wine, the George Phillips Sac Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes or simply enjoyed on its own for a sunny afternoon.

Region:


Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
