The Story
Kendall-Jackson Avant Unoaked Chardonnay is a crisp, fruit-forward expression of California’s cool-climate coastal vineyards, designed to showcase the pure varietal character without the influence of oak maturation. To maintain its vibrant profile, the wine is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding any malolactic fermentation to preserve its naturally high acidity. The resulting wine is bright and "cold-fermented," offering an expressive bouquet of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, accented by delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is light-to-medium-bodied and incredibly refreshing, delivering juicy flavors of pear, pineapple, and citrus with a clean, mineral-driven finish.
