Pacificana Chardonnay 2021

Winemaking
Pacificana celebrates classic Californian winemaking—big flavour, rich texture, and unapologetic oak influence. The fruit is harvested at peak ripeness, then barrel-fermented and aged in a combination of American oak and stainless steel. Full malolactic fermentation enhances the wine’s round, buttery character, while lees stirring builds texture and mouthfeel. It's a modern homage to the bold Chardonnays that put California on the map.

Interesting Fact
Pacificana takes its name from the design aesthetic Americana, blended with the Pacific Coast lifestyle. The wine is a tribute to 1960s California surf culture—sun-soaked, laid-back, and full of character.

Bouquet
The nose is rich and golden: think ripe peach, grilled pineapple, toasted vanilla and buttery shortbread, with hints of spice and roasted nuts. It’s warm, inviting, and mouth-watering from the first swirl.

Palate
Decadent and full-bodied, this Chardonnay hits with layers of tropical fruit, ripe apricot, and baked apple, wrapped in toasty oak and creamy butterscotch. There’s a soft acidity that lifts the finish, keeping it balanced and silky. A true crowd-pleaser for lovers of classic buttery Chardonnay.

Food Pairing
Perfect for creamy dishes like seafood chowder, carbonara, or roast chicken with a rich gravy. For a Californian twist, pair it with grilled corn, crab cakes, or even a burger with sharp cheddar and caramelised onions.
