2022 Outward Wines "Bassi Vineyard" Chardonnay, California, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE

This Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from the Bassi Vineyard, located in the cool, coastal climate of California’s southernmost part of the San Luis Obispo region. The vineyard’s unique terroir, with its proximity to the ocean, provides ideal conditions for growing Chardonnay, ensuring vibrant acidity and a balanced expression of fruit. The wine undergoes fermentation in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels, followed by aging on the lees to enhance complexity and mouthfeel. The result is a Chardonnay that combines bright fruit character with sophisticated minerality, showcasing the purity of the fruit and the influence of the land.
