2022 Chardonnay, Greengate Ranch & Vineyard *91 Points Wine Enthusiast

*91 Points Wine Enthusiast

Our Greengate Chardonnay has always been a natural fit for the holidays. The 2022 vintage showcases the elegance of Edna Valley Chardonnay and reflects the ideal conditions of the vintage. The 2022 growing season provided a perfect balance of warm days and cool coastal nights, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving vibrant acidity. This Chardonnay is fermented in French oak, lending it a rich, creamy texture.

Aromas of coastal breeze and vanilla tease the senses, while the palate boasts flavors of custard, spice, and caramel, with subtle hints of toasted almonds and ripe citrus. This wine’s balanced mouthfeel and long, lingering finish suggest a nice aging potential. For a perfect pairing, consider serving this Chardonnay with lobster bisque, creamy mushroom risotto, or root vegetable gratin.
