Our friends at DeLoach Vineyards know great wine— especially Chardonnay. In fact, Wine Spectator writes that they’re “one of California’s best producers of Chardonnay,” and they’ve even scooped Wine & Spirits’ Winery of the Year title an amazing 12 times. So, when they offered to make this ‘Private Collection’ release exclusively for our customers, we were thrilled. And once you taste it, we think you will be, too.

Talented winemaker Katie Carter (below) sourced the Chardonnay, grown during the exceptional 2020 vintage, from prime-sited vineyards throughout the Golden State. In the cellar, she took a cue from Burgundy’s Chablis region—famed for its steely-crisp Chardonnay—and crafted the wine without the influence of oak barrels. The result is uniquely Californian though and delivers floral and citrusy aromas with a palate of super-ripe tropical fruits, hints of white peach and honeydew melon. A mouthwatering aperitif and happy companion with citrus-grilled chicken or shellfish.
