“Smelling fresh and appley, this light-bodied wine tastes clean, crisp and mouthwatering. Granny Smith and golden apples take turns charming the palate while light accents of vanilla and coconut chime in.” 
Winemaker Notes: 
“The Teresa’s Chardonnay continues to define California’s Unoaked Chardonnay category. Crisp and vibrant, yet amazingly luscious. It showcases how Chardonnay does not need flashy oak to be distinct and delicious. The wine is focused with intensely bright and lifted citrus and melon aromas that are offset with savory tones that add complexity and pleasure to the aromatics. 
Then comes the texture, balance and persistence. It’s mouthwatering with refreshing acidity that contrasts its surprisingly robust and weighted mid-palate. Slight tannins add subtle tension and pull the wine into a persistent, serious finish.” 
Alcohol: 13.3% 
Sustainably farmed.
