CCWW Chardonnay 2020

Der erste Weiße von CCWW, also von Jason Carter (ex Barrel 27), ist ein typisch kalifornischer Chardonnay aus dem Rancho Tierra Rejada Vineyard, den er bei der kleinen, feinen Broken Earth Winery hat füllen lassen.

Wenn man alle Chardonnay-Stile nimmt und den Pfeil direkt in die Mitte wirft – dann ist man bei diesem Wein. Ausgewogenheit meets Süffigkeit. Kein Chablis, kein Butterscotch-Monster, kein Meusault, auch kein „nasser Hund mit Gesteinsmehl“ (hahaha!!)

Stattdessen eine schöne Chardonnayfrucht, feine Säure, leckeres Barrique und ein animierender Trinkfluss. Kann man Vieles zu Essen. Muss man aber nicht.

Winemakers comments: This is a quintessential „California“ style Chardonnay, huge ripeness is framed in buttery – oak notes, with just enough acidity to balance the wine and keep it from becoming cloying or heavy.
Vintage: A long, warm Summer had only a couple of heat spikes, followed by cooler temps. Similar to 2019 but with slightly warmer average temperatures. Good maturity of fruit and grape balance has made some rich, powerful wines in the vintage.
Your favourite recipe for this wine:Chicken marinated in melted butter and beer (1:4) and then spiced with garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper, grilled over oak coals. Serve with grilled carrots brushed with butter, brown beans and garlic bread. Central Coast Style!!!!
