BREA Wine Co. Chardonnay, Central Coast, California 2023
BREA's Chardonnay pairs two certified organic Central Coast sites: Wheeler Vineyard, planted in 1974 on a gravelly terrace in Tres Pinos and part of the Historic Vineyard Society, and Kevin Olson Vineyard in Prunedale, one of the coldest vineyards in California. The result is a fresh, balanced Chardonnay with depth and a bright backbone of acidity.
Tasting Notes
"Expect a fresh, balanced Chardonnay: crisp orchard and citrus fruit with a gentle, creamy depth from neutral barrels and full malolactic, held up by bright, cool-climate acidity." — Harvest Wine Shop

About BREA Wine Co.
OUR STORY
Chris Brockway, a noted California natural winemaker and owner of Broc Cellars, and Tim Elenteny, the libations logistics leader of Elenteny Imports, are the masterminds behind BREA Wine Company.
They have seen the thirst for site-specific, terroir driven, and sustainably farmed wine become the driving force for many avant-garde California winemakers who gravitate toward varieties that flow outside the mainstream. BREA Wine Company seeks to capture this thirst while also bringing the beloved classic varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir into the fold.
The two seek to create wine that is beyond reproach by fostering close relationships with farmers and choosing vineyards known for their high- quality grapes. BREA wines are accessible in price, quality, and ready-to-drink but also suitable for short-term aging. Their goal is to open minds back up to these classic varietals. BREA Wines has become a beloved name in wine over the years and one you'll be proud to have on your shelves!
