Pax Mahle Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
The 2022 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is crafted from vines rooted in rocky rhyolite soils at one of the most breathtaking vineyard sites on the California coast. This high-elevation vineyard, planted primarily with the Mt. Eden clone, balances richness and coastal vibrancy, creating a truly distinctive wine. The lower vineyard sections lend decadent yellow fruit character, while the site’s chalky and salty terroir shines through in every sip.
On the nose, expect aromas of chalk, white peach, pear, nectarine, and a whisper of sea air. The palate is bright and alive, carrying its weight and texture effortlessly. Lush notes of yellow fruits are perfectly framed by a salty, sandy minerality and a refreshing coastal verve. Richly textured yet focused, this Chardonnay is a quintessential expression of California’s cool-climate winemaking.
Perfect for lovers of coastal elegance, this Chardonnay is a masterclass in balance—simultaneously indulgent and refreshing, it pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy pastas, or roasted chicken.
