Granite Ridge Chardonnay 2022

Granite Ridge Chardonnay, crafted by the talented winemaker Alex Dale, offers a fascinating blend of influences from both South Africa and France. While hailing from South Africa, Alex's English roots and formative experiences in Burgundy, France, shape the character of this exceptional wine. Inspired by the crisp Chardonnays of Burgundy, Granite Ridge pays homage to this French style while infusing it with a touch of South African flair. Fresh lemony and citrus notes take the lead on the palate, supported by a well-balanced acidity that adds vibrancy to each sip. This Chardonnay, aged in stainless steel barrels rather than oak, defies the stereotype of buttery California Chards, offering instead a refreshing and invigorating experience that surprises and delights even the most skeptical of Chardonnay drinkers.

Pair this wine with a variety of dishes, from grilled seafood to creamy pasta dishes, to fully appreciate its versatility and elegance. Granite Ridge Chardonnay is not just a wine; it's a testament to the artistry and innovation of winemaking, showcasing the best of both Old and New World styles.
