District 7 Chardonnay 2023
District 7 Chardonnay comes from the cooler winegrowing regions of Monterey County, where brisk wind and foggy conditions produce grapes with exceptional character, texture, and structure. The vineyards are planted on well-draining bluffs, benches, and hillsides, giving the wine a distinctive profile. The grapes are harvested in the early morning to capture optimal flavour and acidity, then cold-fermented in small lots and aged with a portion in stainless steel tanks and a portion in new French oak barrels. The result is a medium-bodied, soft, and balanced Chardonnay with bright fruit, hints of butter, and a subtle, lingering oak finish. Why You'll Love It This is California Chardonnay done right, balancing the richness and oak influence that the variety is known for with the freshness and elegance that comes from Monterey County's cool climate. District 7 Vineyards' commitment to sustainable farming and 100% wind-powered production means you're enjoying a wine that's both delicious and environmentally responsible. It's a beautifully crafted Chardonnay that delivers exceptional quality and character at outstanding value. Meet the Producer District 7 Vineyards is committed to sustainable farming and 100% wind-powered production, ensuring wines that reflect the terroir while respecting the environment. Production Grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning, sorted, crushed, and cold-fermented in small lots. Aging occurs in stainless steel and French oak to enhance freshness, texture, and varietal character. Tasting Notes The nose shows fresh and extroverted aromas of yellow apple, pear, and citrus with subtle coconut, vanilla, and toasty oak. The palate is medium-bodied and soft, with bright fruit, gentle buttery notes, and a lingering oak finish. Food Match Pairs well with soft cheeses, roasted chicken, and seafood. Also excellent with creamy pasta dishes or grilled fish. Grape Variety Chardonnay
Signos de Origen La Vinilla Chardonnay Roussanne Marsanne Viognier 2022
Emiliana Signos de Origen La Vinilla is a white of real ambition and precision from Chile's cool, coastal Casablanca Valley. A blend of Chardonnay and Roussanne, hand-harvested from meticulously farmed organic and biodynamic blocks, fermented with native yeasts across French barrels, concrete ovoids, foudres, and stainless steel, and aged on lees for nine months — this is a wine of remarkable weight, texture, and seamless complexity. Power and elegance in equal measure. Why You'll Love It Emiliana has been one of Chile's most exciting producers since 1998, pioneering organic and biodynamic viticulture at a time when few others were paying attention. The Signos de Origen range represents the pinnacle of that work — single-vineyard wines with genuine personality, precision, and a true sense of place. The Casablanca Valley's maritime breezes moderate summer temperatures, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop exceptional aromatic intensity. If you love serious white Burgundy, this is the Chilean answer worth discovering. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested from high-quality blocks in Casablanca and carefully selected on a sorting table before whole-bunch pressing in a pneumatic press. The must is kept cold on its lees for six days before spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. After fermentation, the wine rests on lees for nine months: 60% in French barrels, 16% in 2,000-litre French foudres, 15% in concrete ovoids, and 9% in stainless steel, before final blending and bottling. Tasting Notes Aromas of cold salted butter and subtle white pepper on the nose. The palate is generous and textured — almond skin, vanilla, crème fraîche, and salted butter — with a seam of saline minerality running through the long, refined finish. Perfect Pairings Excellent with fine hard cheeses, perfectly roasted chicken, classic poulette, pan-fried scallops, or lobster with butter sauce. A wine that rewards a special occasion without demanding one. The Blend Chardonnay
