The Electric Chardonnay Acid Test

by Subject to Change Wine Co. · Mendocino County, California, United States

White • Chardonnay • 12% ABV

With a name that cleverly references both Tom Wolfe's counterculture classic 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test' and the wine's high-acid profile, this is Chardonnay that's definitely taken the road less traveled. Forget the buttery, oaky stereotypes – this is Chardonnay unplugged and amped up.

Subject to Change Wine Co. specializes in natural wines that express California terroir with minimal intervention, and this bottling showcases their ability to create wines of character and energy without artifice.

Made from organically farmed fruit with native yeast fermentation and no oak influence, it's a pure expression of Mendocino Chardonnay that focuses on freshness and mineral tension rather than weight or richness. It's the perfect bottle for those who think they don't like Chardonnay – one sip of this electric interpretation might just trigger a conversion experience.
