Chardonnay 2023
WINE OVERVIEW

Heron relentlessly focuses on the very best California appellations to create balanced, fresh classics that redefine approachability - embodying the determination of the iconic bird it represents and of Laely Heron, founder of one of the industry’s first female-owned and-produced brands.

Tasting Notes

4 months on the lees gives this wine a naturally creamy texture that complements its citrus aromas and crisp, clean finish. Complementary notes of white peach and orange zest make for a refreshing yet complex wine.

Food Pairing

This unoaked Chardonnay makes a delicious pairing with seafoods like shellfish or flaky lighter fish, spring vegetables or lighter sauced pasta dishes.

Tech Details

The Mokelumne River is a cooler area of Lodi, which producers Chardonnay fruit that is very bright, textural and clean. Clarksburg white wines always exude elements of minerality, acidity and vibrancy – a welcomed addition to balance out the general plump nature of the Chardonnay varietal. The grapes were crushed, pressed and fermented for 15 days at 58 degrees. There was no malolactic fermentation. Mainly stainless steel with 10% aged in used oak barrels.
