ABOUT CALIFORNIA CHARDONNAY

California Chardonnay has led American winemaking since the 1960s, establishing the Golden State as a top producer of this noble grape. From the cool coastal areas of Sonoma and Monterey to the warmer inland valleys, California's varied climates support multiple expressions of Chardonnay. The evolution of California Chardonnay mirrors changing tastes and winemaking advances, shifting from heavily oaked, buttery styles to more balanced versions that highlight fruit purity and terroir. Modern California Chardonnay often uses techniques like sur lie aging and partial malolactic fermentation to add complexity while keeping freshness. The state's winemakers continue to innovate, offering a range of wines from crisp, mineral-driven bottles to rich, creamy ones that demonstrate the versatility of this popular varietal.
