Crosby Chardonnay 2023

Crosby Chardonnay 2023
Fresh, uncomplicated, and easy to reach for, this California Chardonnay opens with ripe pear, green apple, peach, citrus, and a soft hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is bright and rounded, with orchard fruit, a gentle creaminess, and a clean finish.

Key Details:

Producer: Crosby — a California value label created to deliver varietally correct, approachable wines at everyday prices. This is a T. Edward custom label focused on quality and affordability. 

Region / Appellation: California, USA. Split between the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, with up to 20% Lodi fruit for added character. 

Varietal: Chardonnay

Vintage: 2023

Style / ABV: Dry white wine; around 13% ABV. Cold-fermented in stainless steel and racked only once at bottling, seven months in neutral barrel, giving the wine a little extra texture while keeping it fresh and easygoing.

Why It’s Special: This is the kind of bottle that overdelivers for the price — bright, friendly, and built for casual drinking. It has enough fruit and softness to please a crowd, but enough freshness to stay lively in the glass. 

Food Pairing: Great with roast chicken, fish tacos, buttery popcorn, Caesar salad, or the sort of impromptu cheese board that started with “we have nothing in the house.” Its easy fruit and soft texture also make it a natural for patio pours and unfussy dinners.
