The Rancho Rodeo Chardonnay 2019 is a refreshing, Old World-inspired take on California Chardonnay, crafted by Charles Bieler with minimal oak influence. By blending grapes from both warm and cool climates, this wine achieves a perfect balance of ripeness and acidity, offering a crisp and vibrant drinking experience.
In the glass, it shines a pale gold hue, leading into clean, fruit-driven aromas of fresh citrus, pear, peach, and apple. The palate is bright and lively, with refreshing acidity and a pure fruit expression, thanks to stainless steel aging that allows the grape’s natural character to shine.
This versatile and food-friendly Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, where its tart acidity enhances natural salinity. Try it with soy-ginger marinated shrimp, ponzu-sesame tofu, or togarashi popcorn chicken for a dynamic pairing experience. Presented in a 500 mL Jennie bottle, this wine is perfect for sharing or savoring solo, delivering a fresh and elegant expression of California winemaking.
