Herzog's Chalk Hill Special Edition Chardonnay comes off a hillside sub-region of Sonoma County known for volcanic-ash soils and cool maritime fog. Aged ten months in a mix of new French oak and neutral barrels, this is Chardonnay from one of California's most coveted addresses, dressed for a yom tov table.

Mood: lush, gilded, celebratory.

Tasting Notes

Lemon custard, honeyed apple blossom, and warm vanilla on the nose. The palate is rich and layered, ripe stone fruit, brioche, and a touch of hazelnut cream from the French oak. The finish is long and luxurious, butter-cookie warmth balanced by fresh acidity.

Food Pairing

Roast chicken with lemon, miso-glazed salmon, or a Shabbos lunch built around schnitzel and potato kugel. Also excellent with dairy meals: fettuccine alfredo, mushroom risotto, or baked brie.
