A Californian Chardonnay is a type of white wine that is produced in the state of California. It is made from the Chardonnay grape, which is a variety of grape that is native to the Burgundy region of France. The Chardonnay grape is known for its ability to produce wines that are full-bodied and have a rich flavour profile. The Fat Bastard Californian Chardonnay is no exception to this rule, as it is a full-bodied white wine with a rich palate of grilled pineapple, spiced butterscotch, and peach and apricot notes. It has a bright acidity that brings liveliness and freshness to the palate, and macadamia and almond meal notes that give it a unique flavour profile. If you’re looking for a white wine that is both flavourful and complex, the Fat Bastard Californian Chardonnay is a great choice.
California Chardonnay: The Perfect Wine for Fat Bastards
When it comes to chardonnay, California reigns supreme. With its globally celebrated wine regions and exceptional fruit, the Golden State produces some of the most flavourful chardonnay in the world… And with that in mind, let’s introduce you to a favourite hidden gem among wine growing regions, Monterey.
California’s Love Affair with Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the most popular wine in the US, and it’s no surprise that it reigns supreme in California. With over 100,000 acres of vine plantings dedicated to the grape, the Napa Valley has become synonymous with big, buttery chardonnays that are aged in oak barrels. While these wines are undeniably delicious, they often come with a hefty price tag.
Introducing Monterey: A Hidden Gem
Nestled on California’s rugged Central Coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Monterey is a small city with big appeal. The region is known for its fresh seafood, golden beaches, and abundant wildlife, including whales, sea lions, and seals. But for Fat Bastards like us, it’s the wine trails that have us salivating.
Monterey chardonnay is a hidden gem that is often overlooked in favour of its more famous Napa Valley cousins. However, it has a natural richness that sets it apart. The tropical fruit flavours are abundant, and the buttery notes that we love so much are present without overpowering the palate. Some Monterey chardonnays are unoaked, but we prefer ours aged in both French and American oak to give it some weight.
Pairing Californian Chardonnay with Food
Good wine is meant to be enjoyed with good food. Chardonnay is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. If you’re in California, we recommend trying it with local seafood staples like lobster and scallops or meaty fish like halibut. It also pairs well with creamy, international dishes like gnocchi with burnt sage butter.
A good rule of thumb when pairing chardonnay with food is to match the richness of the wine with the richness of the food. So, don’t hesitate to indulge in buttery dishes with a buttery chardonnay.
A delicious drop
California Chardonnay is a wine lover’s dream come true. With its rich, buttery flavours and versatile food pairings, it’s no wonder that it’s the most popular wine in the US. While Napa Valley is often the go-to destination for chardonnay lovers, we urge you to explore the hidden gem of Monterey. With its natural richness and abundance of tropical fruit flavours, it’s the perfect wine for Fat Bastards everywhere. So pour yourself a glass, grab some good food, and enjoy the best that California has to offer.
