From California's coastal, cool-climate Edna Valley, this Chardonnay benefits from a long growing season which yields a wine with bright citrus and floral notes in a light refreshing style. We wait patiently and pick grapes at their optimum flavour. We work with coopers to ensure the barrels uplift rather than dominate the fresh, citrus fruit profile. Each barrel is meticulously chosen to ensure the blend perfectly represents what we love about Chardonnay in the Edna Valley.

Drawing from 50 years of the Cakebread family's winemaking experience and selecting grapes that reflect the unique personalities of their regions, Bezel crafts quality, fruit-forward wines to elevate your everyday wine drinking occasion.

Harvest Note
One of the coolest, latest and longest harvests we've had in a while. This gave us lots of hang time and allowed us to wait until the flavor spectrum was just right! Cool conditions after a wet winter were tough in the vineyards, however our expert grape growers worked with us to deliver clean and sound fruit. A great vintage for those with patience to wait rather than rush to pick.
Tasting Note
Aromas of lemon zest and white peach with subtle notes of sesame seeds and a mouthwatering acidity.
