689 Cellars "Submission" Chardonnay

689 Cellars "Submission" Chardonnay is a full-bodied, approachable white wine crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, with fruit sourced from premium cool-climate coastal regions across California, including the Russian River Valley, Carneros, Sonoma, and Monterey. The wine undergoes a balanced aging process—typically split between stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit and French oak barrels—resulting in a rich, slightly creamy texture with 13.5% alcohol by volume. On the nose, it opens with bright aromas of orange citrus, crisp apple, yellow peach, and toasted almond. The palate layers juicy flavors of pear and tropical fruit with warm undertones of clove, vanilla cream, and a hint of butterscotch, balancing its voluptuous weight with a clean, dry finish. The versatile structure and balanced acidity of this Chardonnay make it an excellent partner for a wide array of culinary pairings.
