2025 Unoaked Carneros Chardonnay

Sterling Vineyard’s 2025 Unoaked Chardonnay glints like a light-yellow diamond, reflecting fruit-forward facets of golden kiwi, quince, Pink Lady apple, and key lime curd aromas, lifted by a sea breeze gust of salinity. The delicate palate projects a flinty minerality zested by lime, with crisp, yellow fruit tones of Bosc pear, canary melon, and fresh, white nectarine. A creaminess imbues the mid-palate, enlivened by bright acidity that flows through the juicy finish, gilded by a touch of marzipan. A perfect choice for weekend brunch, enjoy this unoaked gem with quiche Lorraine, eggs Benedict, bagels, and blintzes
