ZD Wines Chardonnay (2024)

ZD Wines first produced this traditional Chardonnay in 1980 and is their flagship wine today. 100% Chardonnay, produced using certified organic grapes. From the cool, coastal growing regions: Napa Carneros, Sonoma Carneros, Monterey, and Santa Barbara. Each vineyard lot was fermented separately Barrel aged for 10 months in American Oak barrels.

This Chardonnay displays a medium-yellow hue hinting at the wine’s intensity. Aromas bursting of tropical fruit, candied apricot, orange blossom, and grapefruit rind mingle with coconut. The palate follows through with a distinct richness of ripe pineapple, lemon curd, and balanced flavors of guava and tangerine. The acidity in this wine is mouthwatering. In ZD’s signature Chardonnay style, the wine is vibrant, complex, and finishes with vanillin notes, resulting in a long-lasting mouthfeel.
