Its aromas show lively citrus alongside white peach and nectarine, complemented by a delicate hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, with a pleasant level of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and balanced. The finish is persistent, leaving a clean impression of ripe fruit and gentle oak. It is best enjoyed in its youth, although it should develop nicely over the next couple of years when properly stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from Lodi, California, a region known for its warm climate and wide range of soils. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and carefully pressed. Fermentation takes place partly in stainless-steel tanks and partly in French oak barrels, creating a balance between fruit-forward freshness and subtle creamy, vanilla-tinged oak character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Chardonnay pairs well with roasted or grilled chicken, creamy pasta, seafood, shellfish, and mildly seasoned white fish. It also works nicely with soft cheeses and dishes featuring herbs or light cream sauces. Decanting is not necessary, though allowing the wine to breathe briefly in the glass can help open its aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lapis Luna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462558470481,"sku":"VDZ-10570081927504-53331346325840","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/lapi01021.png?v=1785497823","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/lapis-luna-lodi-california-chardonnay-2023-white","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
