Copperplate
California
An award-winning wine from an award-winning California winemaker.
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Copperplate
Chardonnay
Another stunning wine from one of our favorite winemakers Joe Otos, the Copperplate 2016 California Chardonnay is everything you want in a white wine. Crisp and refreshing but with fruity undertones the Copperplate is one of the most well-rounded Chardonnays we’ve seen in a while. Our experts keep raving about the subtle notes of honey, apple, and almond in the wine. We knew that whatever put out would be, like the color of this wine, gold, so we bought everything they had and are proud to offer this as a Firstleaf exclusive.

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
