Toasted Head Chardonnay is a California white wine crafted from estate-grown grapes primarily sourced from the Dunnigan Hills (71%), located 20 miles east of the Napa Valley, with the remaining fruit harvested from notable vineyards in Mendocino County. The region's warm days encourage full ripeness while cool overnight breezes from the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay maintain high natural acidity.

Grapes are harvested at night to preserve freshness and purity of fruit flavors, then gently de-stemmed and pressed at the winery. The juice is fermented 100% sur lie in a combination of new and used American (55%), Eastern European (25%), and French (20%) oak barrels. Less than 10% of the wine undergoes secondary malolactic fermentation to retain natural acidity, and each barrel is hand-stirred every two weeks for optimal flavor development and to impart a rich, creamy texture.

The wine delivers aromas of bourbon, butterscotch, white peach, and Asian pear. On the palate, creamy toast and peachy caramelized custard flavors are complemented by a clean, full finish. This Chardonnay pairs well with braised meats such as lamb shank and pork loin, smoked salmon, and pasta with Cajun cream sauce. 13% ABV, 750ml.
