BEZEL WINES CHARDONNAY SAN LUIS OBISPO COAST 2023

Bezel Wines crafts this vibrant San Luis Obispo Coast Chardonnay from California's maritime-influenced terroir, where Jane Dunkley's winemaking expertise perfectly captures the region's distinctive character. The coastal climate creates ideal growing conditions—cool, foggy mornings and nights maintain bright acidity while warm, sunny afternoons develop perfect fruit ripeness in the vineyards. Following 8 months in French oak, this playful, sassy Chardonnay reveals uplifting flavors of lemon zest and crisp Granny Smith apple, complemented by juicy pear notes and subtle vanilla spice warmth. The extended growing season in Edna Valley yields a refreshingly bright style with delicate floral nuances that maintains beautiful balance—an effortlessly versatile companion for everything from casual snacking on chips with French onion dip to more elegant pairings like lobster rolls or crispy fried chicken.
