Winemaker Notes
Maddalena Chardonnay greets the nose with an array of ripe fruit aromas, including citrus, guava, and orange peel. The round mouth 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 comes only from the best lots that our estate vineyards have to offer. Small lots are picked and fermented individually with minimal intervention to allow the true expression of the soil and climate. The wines are matured in a unique selection of hand-crafted French and 20% American oak barrels.
 
Food Pairings
Our Maddalena Chardonnay is best paired with roasted walnuts, goat cheese, or mussels.
