BREA Wine Co. Chardonnay, Central Coast, California 2024
BREA's 2024 Chardonnay is a statewide blend from certified organic (CCOF) sites: Kevin Olson Vineyard in Prunedale on the Central Coast, one of the coldest vineyards in California (that's where the acid backbone comes from), plus Stiletto Vineyard and a vineyard in Napa's Oak Knoll District, where sunshine meets San Pablo Bay winds. Fresh, balanced and made with a light, natural touch.
Tasting Notes
"Expect a bright, balanced Chardonnay: crisp orchard and citrus fruit with gentle creaminess from neutral barrels and full malolactic, held up by 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!
