2019 Maggy Hawk Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay

The 2019 Maggy Hawk Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay is a beautifully focused California white that highlights precision, freshness, and site expression over heavy oak or excess richness. Sourced from the cool-climate Anderson Valley, it captures the modern style of Chardonnay that balances elegance with depth, making it especially appealing to drinkers looking for a polished, terroir-driven wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chardonnay typically shows a bright golden hue with a clear, luminous edge. The nose leans toward citrus blossom, ripe pear, green apple, and subtle stone fruit, with layered notes of hazelnut, brioche, and a gentle mineral tone. On the palate, it is poised and textured, offering a lively core of acidity that frames the fruit and keeps the wine feeling fresh. Expect a mix of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and a touch of vanilla or toasted oak in the background. The wine has the structure to age gracefully for several years, gaining more complexity and roundness over time.

Production
Skycrest Vineyard in Anderson Valley benefits from a cool, maritime-influenced climate that helps Chardonnay retain acidity and develop refined aromatic intensity. The vineyard’s soils and exposure contribute to a wine with both freshness and depth, reflecting the region’s reputation for balanced, site-specific white wines. Production details for this bottling are limited, but the style suggests careful harvesting and a measured vinification approach aimed at preserving purity and texture.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, seared scallops, lobster, creamy pasta dishes, and mushroom risotto. It should be served lightly chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, and can benefit from a short decant if it seems particularly closed on opening, though this is not essential.
