The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
This 2018 Chardonnay is a California white built around bright orchard fruit and a touch of tension that keeps it from feeling heavy. The nose offers aromas of pear flesh, guava, and white peach, giving the wine a distinctly juicy, fruit-forward character before you even take a sip. On the palate, flavors of baked pear and poached apple carry through, framed by a fine acidic backbone that keeps the wine feeling fresh and well balanced rather than overly rich.
This Chardonnay pairs naturally with roast chicken, grilled shrimp, creamy pasta dishes, or a simple baked white fish with lemon. Its balance of ripe fruit and lively acidity also makes it a solid match for soft cheeses or a light vegetable-forward meal.
For Chardonnay drinkers who want ripe, orchard-fruit character with enough acidity to stay food-friendly, this bottling is worth a spot in the fridge. Order this Chardonnay online at Habits Bottle Shop and explore more California white wine from our collection.

Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
