Spellbound Chardonnay 2021

Spellbound Chardonnay 2021 is an approachable, vibrant, and smoothly styled white wine crafted under the direction of the Michael Mondavi Family Estate. Sourced from established vineyard parcels across California, it undergoes fermentation and maturation in a blend of French oak, American oak, and stainless steel tanks to preserve crisp fruit intensity while imparting subtle texture. In the glass, it shows a luminous golden-yellow hue. The nose presents rich aromas of lush tropical fruits, pineapple, and yellow pear, layered with notes of sweet vanilla and crème brûlée. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-balanced, delivering bright orchard fruit flavors backed by supple acidity and a smooth, lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with blackened fish, Caesar salad, creamy clam chowders, soft cheeses, grilled chicken, and Pacific Rim-inspired cuisine.
