Sea Smoke Charddonnay 2023

Sea Smoke Chardonnay 2023 is a premier California Chardonnay that exemplifies the elegance and precision of modern Santa Barbara County winemaking. Produced by the renowned Sea Smoke Winery, this limited vintage showcases bright fruit, balanced oak, and vibrant minerality, reflecting the cool coastal climate of the region.

Carefully hand-harvested from the estate vineyards, the 2023 Chardonnay is fermented in French oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation to enhance creaminess while maintaining freshness. The result is a luxurious, expressive Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and creamy dishes.
