Failla Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023

Experience the vibrant essence of California’s coastline with Failla’s acclaimed 2023 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Crafted for immediate enjoyment, this balanced white wine captures cool-climate sophistication through meticulous winemaking.

Tasting Profile:
Aromatic layers of lime zest, crushed oyster shells, and wet river stones unfold gracefully. The palate delights with creamy textures lifted by mouthwatering acidity—think lemon confit and white florals mingling with subtle hints of sage and white pepper. This food-friendly Chardonnay finishes with glycerol roundness, leaving a refreshing mineral crispness.

Winemaking Innovation:
Failla prioritizes purity through hybrid fermentation: 50% in concrete eggs and stainless steel to preserve bright fruit character, while the remainder ages in French oak (only 15% new). This approach minimizes oak influence, letting terroir-driven nuances shine. Partial malolactic fermentation softens acidity without sacrificing vibrancy—a hallmark of Sonoma Coast excellence.
