Bay Vista Chardonnay

Sonoma Coast

Bay Vista Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of its cool climate origins, greeting the nose with a warm, complex bouquet of baking spice, vanilla, and the nostalgic sweetness of toasted marshmallow. These rich notes are beautifully uplifted by the high-toned brightness of lemon zest and the crisp, orchard-fresh scent of Gala apple. On the palate, the wine delivers a lush core of succulent peach that is perfectly balanced by a bright, punchy acid profile typical of the region’s coastal influences. Each sip remains crisp, clean, and incredibly refreshing, ultimately evolving into a sophisticated savory finish.

Wine Fact Sheet

The fruit was harvested at night into half-ton macro bins to preserve integrity and temperature. The grapes underwent a twohour whole-cluster press before the juice was cold-settled overnight at 50°F and racked off the lees. Following inoculation and nutrient addition, fermentation took place in French oak barrels (20% new) until the wine was dry. To enhance texture, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation with bi-weekly lees stirring (bâtonnage) until completion, at which point SO2 was added. The wine was then topped monthly to ensure quality through the final blending and bottling stages.
