About This Wine


Erste While

Chardonnay

Our 92 point Erste While Chardonnay embodies charisma and grace. This wine shows a touch of oaky character alongside zesty citrus and minerality. When served chilled, fruit is the primary focus. As it warms in the glass, you will notice notes of baking spice join the tasty soiree of aromas and flavors. Like every good Chardonnay, this wine makes an excellent companion to slow days and relaxing evenings. Its charming nature invites you to fill a glass, flip through a magazine or unwind with your favorite show. Since this French grape first arrived in California in the late 1800s, it has thrived in the abundant sunshine and diverse landscape. Today, you can find many styles throughout the state ranging from tangy and crisp to soft and buttery. Our 2019 vintage falls right in the middle, making it easy-drinking, friendly and destined to be beloved by all. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

  • A figure representing the Mineral tasting note. Mineral
  • A figure representing the Baking Spice tasting note. Baking Spice

On the nose, notes of nutmeg and cinnamon show oak's toasty influence, joined by aromas of lime zest. The body feels full, but the flavors remain tight and focused. Pithy citrus notes and textural minerality lead to a clean finish, leaving your palate refreshed.
