La Cream Sonoma Chardonnay captures the elegance and vibrancy of Sonoma County fruit, reflecting the unique growing conditions of the vintage.

Weather conditions for the vintage

Sonoma County experienced record-breaking and persistent rainfall throughout winter and early spring 2023. Bud break occurred later than usual, with emerging leaves in late March. Spring remained relatively cool, keeping the growing season 3–4 weeks behind schedule. This extended hang time allowed for ideal flavour development and excellent acid retention. Harvest began on 21st September, yielding grapes with concentrated flavour and vibrant acidity.

Vinification

The grapes were gently pressed and allowed to settle for 24 hours before racking into barrels for fermentation. The wine was aged on lees for approximately six months, with monthly stirring to enhance texture and complexity.

Winemaker comments

On the nose, the wine displays aromas of Meyer lemon, white flowers, and subtle oak nuances. The palate reveals golden peach and pineapple, layered with hints of graham cracker crust and supported by vibrant, concentrated acidity that leads to a long, refreshing finish.

Food match

Perfect with seafood, roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or as a refined aperitif.
