The bold-flavored The Federalist Chardonnay is a delightful tasting experience on its own, sure to win over lovers of American wines. It pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes such as roasted lobster, grilled salmon, sea bass in a creamy sauce, or smoked flounder. Also try it with rich Brie cheese served with ripe pear—an absolute hit.

Color

Pale golden yellow.

Aroma

The nose reveals ripe pear, citrus, green apple, mango, coconut, and vanilla.

Flavor

The palate is bursting with tropical fruit—almost chewable in intensity—with a creamy, coconut-tinged mouthfeel framed by oak. A vanilla-scented finish lingers long and balanced on the tongue.

Description

Federalist winemaker Corey Garner sources the grapes from a single vineyard in the Lodi wine region, near the Sacramento River Delta. The area produces 20% of all California grapes—more than Napa and Sonoma combined. It boasts a Mediterranean climate and deep sandy soils, ideal for high-quality wine production. One-third of the fermentation and malolactic fermentation takes place in new American and French oak barrels. The lees are stirred throughout the malolactic fermentation, lending the wine a rich mouthfeel. The wine continues to age on the lees until the final blending.
