White · Full · Dry
California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.
Why it works with Scallops Verde
American Chardonnay's richness adds depth alongside Scallops Verde — especially with cream, butter, or oak influence in either.
