Winemaker Notes
Maddalena Chardonnay greets the nose with an array of ripe fruit aromas, including citrus, guava and orange peel. The round mouthfeel shows depth and body, complemented by forward flavors of tropical fruit. A touch of oak adds complexity. Balanced acidity creates structure and a long, complex finish.
 
Sustainability
Sustainability is our top priority. Our Paso Robles and Monterey vineyards are certified sustainable by CSWA. At our Paso Robles winery, solar panels provide 100% of the needed electricity, and wastewater is effectively reclaimed and recycled for additional uses.
 
Wine Making
Maddalena Chardonnay was fermented in both stainless steel and French and American oak, undergoing partial malolactic fermentation. The resulting wine has a luxurious rounded mouthfeel infused with subtle nuances of toasty oak. The aromas of fragrant tropical guava and fresh citrus are interwoven with delicate white oral notes and a hint of spice.
 
Food Pairings
Our Maddalena Chardonnay is best paired with roasted walnuts, goat cheese, or mussels.
