One of the most popular white wines from California, this luscious, creamy Chardonnay gets its classic seductive aroma, butter flavor, and citrus nuance from malolactic fermentation, a critical step in the winemaking process. It’s a process that softens the acidity by converting the harsh malic acid into softer lactic acid, reducing the wine’s sharp taste, and giving it a buttery texture. This process is usually reserved for red wines like Pinot Noir, but winemakers found that white wines like Chardonnay benefit dramatically from it. The malic acid has a sharp, green apple taste, while the lactic acid has a strong buttery flavor. Wines like Bread & Butter and Butterfly Fields play up this buttery style to make a rich, delightful Chardonnay with creamy notes of vanilla bean and tropical fruit.

"This Chardonnay has a rich creamy texture with pineapple, honeysuckle, peach and apple fruit flavors. Malolactic fermentation creates balanced acidity and rounds out the finish with vanilla and buttery notes." The Wine Buyer, 91 Points
