This wine hails from Lodi, one of California's most diverse wine regions. Thanks to the warm days and cool nights, the grapes retain their fresh acidity while ripening optimally. Oak Ridge Winery is one of the oldest operating wineries in this region and actively promotes sustainable vineyard practices, prioritizing water conservation, biodiversity, and renewable energy.
After harvest, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation, followed by four months of aging. The wine is aged 50% in Hungarian oak and 50% in French oak, which gives it a distinct oak character. This process not only adds structure but also layers of flavors of vanilla, toast, and spice. The wine is deliberately kept full-bodied and creamy, without filtration, which could soften its character.
Chardonnay – 97%
Gives the wine its full body, tropical fruit aromas and creamy structure.
Sauvignon Blanc – 3%
Provides extra freshness and tension to the taste palette.
Blazon Chardonnay demonstrates the harmonious relationship between wine and oak. This wine is a vibrant tribute to craftsmanship, oak aging, and Californian richness. A distinctive Chardonnay for those who appreciate power, complexity, and a full finish.
