Goldschmidt Vineyards Singing Tree Chardonnay 2024 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from the Singing Tree Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, this Chardonnay reflects a cool-climate Sonoma site shaped by Pacific fog and coastal breezes. Sandy loam soils derived from the Wilson Grove Formation provide excellent drainage and balanced nutrient retention, helping to produce fruit with both richness and natural acidity. The result is a wine that combines California generosity with a distinctly fresh, mineral-driven edge.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Crafted as a 100% Chardonnay, the wine is fermented under controlled temperatures to preserve aromatics and purity. A portion sees oak aging, adding texture and subtle spice without overwhelming the fruit. The winemaking approach emphasizes balance—integrating freshness, moderate richness, and a polished structure that remains approachable while still nuanced.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw with green highlights, the 2024 opens with aromas of citrus, nectarine, and honeysuckle layered with almond and a touch of vanilla. The palate is fresh yet rounded, offering flavors of lemon, white peach, and baked apple with hints of toasted oak and subtle creaminess. A mineral thread and vibrant acidity carry through to a clean, elegant finish.

Food Pairing & Service
A versatile Chardonnay, it pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled fish, and roasted chicken, especially dishes with creamy sauces or light butter elements. It also complements soft cheeses and seasonal vegetable dishes. Serve lightly chilled to highlight both its freshness and textural depth.

Cellaring Potential
Enjoyable upon release, this wine can also evolve over the next 5–10 years, gaining additional integration and subtle nutty, honeyed complexity while maintaining its core freshness and balance.
