Chardonnay from North Coast, California

Winemaker Notes

Skyside selects the best grapes from the North Coast appellation to create a Chardonnay that is vibrant, subtle and delicate. Skyside Chardonnay 2018 shows beautiful aromas of honeysuckle, bright citrus notes of Meyer lemon and mandarin orange followed by aromas of apricot and white peach. The wine enters subtly, filling the mid-palate with peach and citrus fruit notes. These flavors linger as they weave together with subtle oak notes and elegant acidity to lengthen the finish.

Tasting Panel – 90 Points

The fruit for this white is sourced from the five counties—Mendocino, Sonoma, Lake, Solano, and Napa—that make up California’s North Coast AVA. It’s defined by a mélange of summer peach, vanilla, and honeysuckle in a rich, creamy body. Notes of lemon cake are balanced by a fine acid structure.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with dishes like Meyer lemon whole roasted chicken or oven baked salmon and warm winter salad with roasted squash and persimmon.
