Peirano Estate Description
Experience the exquisite symphony of flavors found in Peirano Estate Chardonnay. This unique white wine, hailing from our Lodi Appellation estate, is the result of a meticulous dual-harvest technique and careful hand-picking. Half of the fruit is harvested in mid to late August to preserve firm acidity, while the rest is picked three to four weeks later when the grapes are rich in natural sugars. The result is a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity in every bottle.
Our Chardonnay is skillfully aged in French and American oak barrels, a fifteenth of which are new wood. Following fermentation, lees stirring every fortnight allows the wine to develop complexity and structure. This painstaking process prepares our Chardonnay to be perfectly enjoyable upon release, while also possessing the potential to mature elegantly for years in the bottle.
A pour of Peirano Estate Chardonnay entices with its vibrant hue and an immediate burst of scents, encapsulating fresh-picked Asian pears, ripe Meyer lemons, pineapple, and lemon curd. These lively notes are beautifully intertwined with subtle whispers of honeysuckle and butterscotch. On tasting, the wine brims with complex, layered flavors of sweet Asian pears, caramel apples, and luscious yellow peaches, along with nuanced tones of butterscotch. Soft hints of lemon meringue and melons linger on the palate, producing a seductive finish that leaves a lasting impression.
The Peirano Estate Chardonnay pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes due to its flavor complexity and balance. Consider serving it alongside a creamy seafood pasta or a grilled chicken salad dressed with citrus vinaigrette. Its vibrant flavors and subtle sweetness also complement slightly spicy Asian cuisine, while its creamy undertones harmonize well with a decadent, buttery risotto. The wine's lingering fruitiness makes it a delightful match for soft, rich cheeses, too. With Peirano Estate Chardonnay at your table, any meal transforms into an elegant culinary experience.
