Firestone Chardonnay, produced by Firestone Vineyard in California's Santa Ynez Valley, is a well-balanced white wine known for its rich, yet refreshing profile. The Chardonnay is typically sourced from estate vineyards, benefiting from the region’s diverse terroir and climate variations. The winemaking process includes barrel fermentation in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which imparts a nuanced oak character and contributes to a creamy, textured mouthfeel. The wine is aged on its lees to enhance complexity and add layers of flavor. Firestone Chardonnay typically features aromas of ripe citrus, green apple, and pear, with subtle notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of butter from malolactic fermentation. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of bright acidity and rich, fruit-forward flavors, culminating in a long, elegant finish. This Chardonnay pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, seafood, and creamy pasta.
