DAOU Vineyards, established by brothers Georges and Daniel Daou, is renowned for producing premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of California's Central Coast. The 'Bodyguard' Chardonnay exemplifies their commitment to crafting elegant and opulent wines.
- WINEMAKER: Daniel Daou
- FARMING: Sustainable practices are employed across the estate vineyards
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: Sourced from vineyards in Santa Barbara County, characterized by a cool coastal climate and diverse soils, contributing to the wine's complexity and balance.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo meticulous sorting before fermentation with native yeasts. Cold fermentations are performed to maintain aromatic precursors, and a combination of French and American oak is used to deliver a creamy and buttery mouthfeel.
- AGING: Aged for 10 months in 30% new French oak, 30% new American oak, and 40% neutral French oak barrels, imparting subtle oak nuances and promoting the integration of flavors.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2021 'Bodyguard' Chardonnay displays a rich, fragrant nose with aromas of spiced pear, star jasmine, vanilla bean, and tropical rainforest. The palate is crisp and silky, expanding with mouthwatering flavors of white peach, pineapple, honeydew melon, and lemon zest. Underlying tropical notes of papaya, kiwi, and passion fruit are laced with toasty oak and baking spices, leading to a lush, clean finish with lingering impressions of citrus, almond, and vanilla.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with roasted poultry, creamy pasta dishes, grilled seafood, and soft cheeses. Its balanced structure and rich flavors complement a variety of dishes, enhancing the dining experience.
