For more than two decades, Canyon Oaks has produced deliciously ripe, quintessentially California-styled varietal wines drawn from the finest vineyards in the state’s top growing regions. The name is inspired by the dramatic Arroyo Seco Canyon, where the flagship vineyards are located, and by the majestic oak trees on the property, a symbol of vigor and resilience. As early wine pioneers in the region, Canyon Oaks wines pay homage to time-honored practices in the vineyards and winery, combined with an inventive approach to winemaking.
Tasting Notes
Canyon Oaks Chardonnay explodes on the palate with tropical & citrus flavors framed by toasty vanilla, subtle creamy oak notes, and a crisp finish. This wine is a perfect pairing with grilled chicken and fish dishes.
Method
The winemaking team at Canyon Oaks is lead by Christophe “Cris” Legrandjacques who selects the highest quality lots that best exemplify characteristic California Chardonnay varietal. These lots are then artfully blended into a final cuvée to create the signature Canyon Oak wine style from vintage to vintage.
After harvest, the grapes were gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel under temperature-controlled conditions to preserve the crispness and ripe fruit flavors. The wine goes through a secondary malolactic fermentation for creaminess and then was oak aged sur lie for additional complexity and toastiness. The wine is gently filtered and fined prior to bottling.
