Luscious and lean, our Chardonnay is somewhat of an ode to a neo-Burgundian approach to winemaking that relies less on oak influence to produce a cleaner, tropically turbo-charged wine. Not wanting to steer this wine too distinctly in any one style, it ended up being aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. The end result is a harmonious balance of allure and understated opulence.
Accentuated with fresh notes of green apple, pineapple and pear, but also finely-tuned with subtle nuances of oak and vanilla, this wine will make you want to simultaneously dance in the candlelight and howl at the moon. Try pairing this Chardonnay with hammock lounging, salmon burgers, Tom Petty blasting on the stereo, pan-seared scallops, stargazing, and fettuccine alfredo.

At Ricci Vineyards we are farmers first and foremost, but when it comes to the wine-side of things, Tyler steers the ship so to speak. If you happen to contact us regarding any of our wines, Tyler is the dude you'll be dealing with. In the rare event that he's not, it's probably because he is preoccupied with lathering sunscreen on his fair-skinned, chiseled body.
