Vampire Chardonnay
Vampire vineyards - California

Perhaps no other region in California is as well-adapted to this traditional Burgundy varietal as the Central Coast.  Here, cool coastal breezes allow fresh acidity to remain intact in the fruit, and the long, extended growing season provides full flavor development in the grapes.

Hand-picked at peak ripeness, this Chardonnay was barrel fermented in French oak, aged on the yeast lees for one year, then carefully bottled with minimal handling to ensure that suble flavors remain intact.  Crisp and refreshing, our Chardonnay is an ideal accompaniment to grilled seafood or poultry, and also complements mildly flavored cheeses.  The wine’s rich texture, the result of regular stirring of the lees, further provides a big mouthfeel to this classically structured white wine.
