The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Fort Ross Vineyard, located on Sonoma County's rugged coastline, crafts this 2018 Chardonnay with a hands-off approach that lets the fruit and vineyard site speak for themselves. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration, and shows subtle stirring of the lees during aging.
That winemaking style shows in the glass: a hazy yellow hue signals the minimal intervention approach, while the palate offers a rounded, rich mouthfeel intertwined with bright acidity and layered fruit character typical of cool-climate coastal Chardonnay.
This Chardonnay is an excellent match for roasted chicken, grilled seafood, or creamy risotto — dishes that can stand up to its rich texture while letting its acidity cut through. It also shines alongside a simple butter-poached lobster.
For Chardonnay lovers who appreciate minimal-intervention, coastal winemaking, this Fort Ross bottling delivers real character. Shop this Sonoma Coast Chardonnay online at Habits Bottle Shop and taste a distinctive, hands-crafted expression of California Chardonnay.
