Ceritas 'Carex' Chardonnay 2021

Ceritas 'Carex' Chardonnay 2021 is a beautifully poised California Chardonnay that leans into purity, restraint, and finesse rather than overt richness. Crafted by Ceritas with a clear respect for site and varietal character, it offers a refined expression of Chardonnay that feels both contemporary and quietly classic.

Tasting Notes
Pale golden in the glass, this Chardonnay opens with a delicate, floral bouquet layered with white peach, ripe pear, and a subtle touch of vanilla. The nose is lifted and elegant, suggesting freshness and precision rather than heaviness. On the palate, it balances bright citrus-driven acidity with a gentle, rounded texture. Nuances of nuts and spice add depth, while the lightly buttery finish brings a soft, charming complexity. It is a wine with enough structure to age gracefully for several years, developing added nuance and richness over time.

Production
Produced in California by Ceritas, 'Carex' reflects a careful, site-conscious approach to Chardonnay. The wine is made with close attention to terroir and the character of the grape, aiming to preserve freshness, definition, and balance through thoughtful vineyard selection and restrained winemaking.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled lobster, seared scallops, creamy pasta dishes, or mushroom risotto. Serve chilled at around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting only if you want to gently open the aromatics after bottling.
