100% Chardonnay
Pear, quince, pineapple, cardamom, lemon curd, and a dry, supple finish.
Fermented and aged in stainless steel. Every effort is made to preserve freshness in the wine by reducing the grapes' exposure to oxygen the moment they enter the winery. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed under nitrogen gas, and the juice is transferred immediately to tank.
Fermentation is temperature controlled, keeping the ferment cool to extend fermentation time and increase aromatics. After primary fermentation, roughly 30% of the wine is allowed to go through malolactic separately. The final wine is blended back to taste before bottling.
Iconic Wine is an exciting project redefining the landscape of contemporary California winemaking. Founded by Birk O'Halloran and Karl Antle, this Napa-based label has built its reputation on crafting wines that are as nuanced as they are accessible. Sourcing fruit from top vineyards across Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino, Iconic captures the essence of these storied sites while embracing a philosophy of balance and restraint.
Sustainability lies at the heart of the Iconic ethos. The vineyards they work with are cultivated using practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation, ensuring not just quality but also stewardship for future generations. Yet, what truly sets Iconic apart is their ability to communicate a sense of place through wines that remain approachable and unpretentious.
