La Playa Estate Chardonnay 'Unoaked'
by La Playa Estate · Colchagua Valley, Chile
White • Chardonnay • 13.5% ABV
For those who think they don't like Chardonnay (usually because they've had too many oak-bomb butter bombs), this unoaked version from La Playa might just change your mind. Made in a deliberately fresh, fruit-forward style that lets the grape speak for itself without the makeup of oak barrels, this is Chardonnay in its natural state – and it's pretty delightful.
The cool coastal influences of Chile's Colchagua Valley help maintain bright acidity while allowing for full flavor development, resulting in a Chardonnay that's both refreshing and satisfying. There's enough richness and texture to remind you that yes, this is Chardonnay, but without any of the heavy-handed winemaking that can sometimes overwhelm the grape's natural charm.
Perfect for converting oak-averse friends or simply enjoying as an everyday white that pairs with practically everything.
