Tasting note
Cannonball crafts a delightful, approachable Chardonnay with aromas of ripe golden apples, juicy pears, and subtle citrus notes. Its soft, creamy texture emphasizes fruit over oak, with a background hint of wood. Overall, it exudes orchard fruits ripened in California's sunshine.
Vinification
Whole cluster press followed by a cold soak for 36 to 48 hours. 75% undergoes tank ferment and the remaining 25% is fermented in a mixture of new and old barrel. Half of the blend spent nine months in French Oak, while the other 50% spent eleven months in American Oak.
Food Match
Pair with roast chicken, fresh seafood, and light pasta dishes. Also perfect as an aperitif!
