Baileyana Edna Valley Chardonnay

Baileyana Edna Valley Chardonnay 2021, previously known as Firepeak Chardonnay, is a bright, elegant, and beautifully crisp California white wine hailing from the cool-climate Edna Valley AVA in San Luis Obispo County. Sourced from the iconic Firepeak Vineyard, where cool ocean breezes and volcanic soils influence the grapes, this wine displays a brilliant pale gold hue. It opens with fragrant aromas of green apple, white peach, lemon zest, and subtle notes of toasted brioche and creamy vanilla. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, well-integrated texture, delivering a vibrant core of citrus and tropical fruit flavors framed by crisp natural acidity and a clean, refreshing mineral finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, pan-seared sea scallops, Dungeness crab, creamy pasta dishes, wild mushroom risotto, and mild semi-soft cheeses like Brie.
