la crema chardonnay

La Crema Chardonnays typically show white stone fruit and yellow plum, along with apricot, apple and nectarine. Tropical notes include papaya, grilled pineapple and guava, with citrus accents like lemon-tangerine and Meyer lemon. Finishing touches of oak, spice and minerality are also present.

Both listings describe these La Crema Chardonnays as medium-bodied.

These Chardonnays are sold in 750 mL bottles and have a 13.5% ABV.

La Crema Chardonnay pairs well with seafood (crab cakes, grilled salmon, shrimp tacos), poultry and lighter meats (grilled chicken skewers), and mild starches like polenta. It can also complement brighter desserts such as Key lime pie and some Asian dishes like Pad Thai.

One description notes fermentation and aging in oak barrels; another specifies aging in a mix of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.

Both Chardonnays are described as dry wines with balanced acidity that supports a lingering, long finish.
