Ripe Life Wines Clambake Chardonnay 2023

Inspired by summer, Clambake Chardonnay has a crisp, clean style, perfect for serving at clambakes or with raw oysters and lobster rolls.  Picked early to produce a drier, fresher expression of California Chardonnay and fermented in stainless steel fermentation, Clambake also has richness and big, ripe fruit flavors. The brand is owned and managed by a local Jersey shore native who sources the fruit from a certified sustainable, dry-farmed vineyard out in Mendocino in Potter Valley with cole and feliz loam soils. Bottled unoaked, this is balanced, delicious and lovely.
