2024 EOS California Chardonnay

California’s EOS takes its name from the Greek goddess of the dawn, Eos, who opened the gates of heaven each day, causing the sun to rise. Cursed by Aphrodite for having an affair with Ares, Eos was punished with an insatiable appetite for young men. At Eos – the winery – they are just as passionate as their namesake, but our insatiable appetite is healthier and focused on producing dense reds, complex whites and lush dessert wines.

The EOS Chardonnay California is made primarily from Chardonnay with a few percent Sauvignon Blanc for freshness and acidity. The grapes come from various vineyards in California, including Sonoma County, Lake County and the Central Coast. The juice is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and new oak. In the glass, the wine is light golden yellow in color with notes of citrus, ripe apple, spices and vanilla in the nose. In the mouth, the wine is fruity and full of flavor with notes of baked apple and subtle wood tones in the aftertaste. Delicious with roasted chicken from the oven. Also delicious with fried chicken or pasta with garlic shrimp.
