Green Thumb Chardonnay 2022
Monterey, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
100% Chardonnay, crafted vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and sustainably made. This bottling reflects the cooler-climate style of Monterey — fresher and more restrained compared to the heavier, oak-laden California Chardonnays.
Aromas & Flavors
Pear, apricot, and citrus are at the forefront, with subtle floral hints and a delicate mineral lift.
Mouthfeel
Approachable and lively, showing balanced acidity and brightness without excessive creaminess or oak influence. Crisp yet rounded enough for casual sipping.
Winemaking Notes
Made with a sustainability-first philosophy, this wine emphasizes purity of fruit and minimal intervention. The absence of heavy oak highlights Monterey’s coastal freshness.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled shrimp, roasted chicken, light pasta primavera, or even a simple green salad with citrus vinaigrette.
Verdict
A refreshing, modern California Chardonnay that skips the “buttery bomb” cliché. Perfect for those who want fruit clarity and bright acidity in an easygoing, sustainable package.
💲 Price Point: Around $15–18, making it a smart, affordable daily sipper with real value.
