THE PARING CHARDONNAY 2018:
Invigorating combination of ripe and silky fruit alongside a refreshing backbone of vibrant acidity. An inviting and delectable chardonnay that offers something for everyone.
MATT DEES’ WINEMAKER NOTES:
Low yields and cool days created a blend that is both bold and rich as well as chiseled and steely. Citrus and green melon and hints of baking spice. Ready to pop and pour, it shines immediately out of the bottle.

“Lots of sliced apple, spice, and subtle pineapple notes emerge from the
2018 Chardonnay. This beauty is nicely textured and medium-bodied, has q a core of sweet fruit, and is just a joy to drink.”

“The 2018 Chardonnay is an absolutely delicious wine, especially in its peer group. Racy and inviting, this super-expressive Chardonnay has so much to offer. Orchard fruit, chamomile, flowers and just a kiss of French oak flesh out in this understated and creamy Chardonnay from The Paring.”
— Antonio Galloni Vinous August 2020
