Sweet Style Chardonnay

While some wines demand a moment to pause and reflect, our Play Chardonnay says, “go!” This energetic white is bright and tropical with refreshing aromatics and sweet fruit flavors. In the temperate vineyards of California, Chardonnay seizes its chance to shine. With a long, dry growing season and reliable access to sunlight, these grapes can reach peak, plump ripeness, showcasing layer upon layer of their fruity varietal characteristics. Our winemakers chose to amplify this fruit-forward styling by avoiding the oak contact many other California Chardonnay’s receive. This results in a lighthearted wine that makes the ideal companion to friendly social gatherings and first impressions. Serve this bottle well chilled at your next dinner party with seafood-based appetizers and wood-fired pizza. Or break it out during dessert to serve with grilled peaches and vanilla ice cream. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.

  • A figure representing the Nectarine tasting note. Nectarine

Aromas of freshly sliced pears and tart mango intermingle on the nose. The palate is plush and weighty with gentle acidity and satisfying sweetness. Tropical melon and fleshy nectarine flavors offer a round and ripe mouthfeel that lingers between each fruity sip.
