The 2021 vintage of Matchbook Chardonnay is a blend of the six clones
grown in the Matchbook estate vineyards. The diversity of clones grown on
various vineyard sites contribute layers of complex favors. The color is
classic- California golden straw. The favors are dominated by the tropical
notes that have become a signiture of our Dunnigan Hills Chardonnay:
pineapple, mango and melon. 60% malolactic fermentation adds a creamy
texture and a touch of buterscotch; oak aging adds a note of vanilla. The
dash of Verdejo brightens the wine with a little of minerality. This delicious
Chardonnay has a satisfyingly plump mouthfeel that is balanced by the crisp,
fresh fruit that lingers in the fnish. Pair this easy drinking Chardonnay with
butery scallops, grilled chicken, or pasta with a cream sauce.
