Description

Rich, expressive, and beautifully balanced, this Californian Chardonnay from Hahn delivers layers of tropical fruit, creamy texture, and a touch of oak. Initial aromas of pineapple, mango, and ripe pear give way to hints of vanilla and sweet spice. The palate is indulgent, with flavours of baked apple, banana, and toffee, while a refreshing acidity balances the wine’s silky mouthfeel. A lingering note of sweet butter and a crisp finish make this a luxurious yet easy-drinking white.

History and Winemaking

Since 1980, the Hahn family has been dedicated to crafting exceptional wines from their hillside vineyards in Monterey County, California. Recognizing the land’s potential beyond grazing livestock, they transformed it into a world-class winemaking estate. With 650 acres of estate vineyards, Hahn has earned acclaim for its full-bodied yet refined Chardonnays and elegant Pinot Noirs. The region’s cooling ocean breezes and varied microclimates allow for slow ripening, enhancing the depth and complexity of their wines.

Tasting Notes

Lush aromas of pineapple, mango, and ripe pear lead into a palate of baked apple, banana, and creamy toffee. A touch of vanilla and sweet butter rounds out the rich, smooth texture, balanced by fresh acidity and a crisp, lingering finish.

Pairings

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, roasted chicken with lemon, or a classic Caesar salad. Its rich, creamy notes also complement buttery lobster, scallops, or pasta dishes with a light cream sauce.
