About This Wine


Seafaring

Chardonnay

The soils of coastal California are legendary for producing incredible grapes. The salt and minerals from the Pacific make their way through the earth and into the grapes, which when combined with the warm days and cool nights means that some wines made by the sea have savory flavors that many inland wines lack. The Seafaring 2016 Chardonnay is light, but with the perfect mouthwatering acidity—the scents of nutmeg and pear are captivating, and the first sip has lush tastes of apple and toasted almond. Nutty and not overly sweet, this Chardonnay is balanced and perfect for any occasion.

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.
