Ladies and gentlemen, step right up and marvel at the wonders of Freakshow Chardonnay! This Goddess of the Sea has been scouring the ocean depths and tempting pirates and sailors alike for centuries - and now she has joined our show. The 4th act in our menagerie of Freaks is none other than the daughter of Poseidon, or ‘Madison’ as we have come to know her. A crisp and fruit forward style Chardonnay, this wine is smooth, easy drinking and oh-so-satisfying. The grapes are sourced from the Phillips family’s vineyard here in Lodi and are certified sustainable, making this Chardonnay the perfect addition to your table and our Freakshow family.

TASTING NOTES
Making waves as the most approachable and fun-loving mermaid in the sea, our 2022 Freakshow Chardonnay is crisp and fruit forward, with a playful zest that will tantalize any sailor she comes across. Golden straw in color, her alluring aromas of ripe nectarine, citrus fruit and butterscotch accentuate mouthwatering flavors of cantaloupe, honey and lemon crème pie. With a refreshing and smooth finish, she will leave you no choice but to come back for more.

2020 Vintage Rated 91 points Tasting Panel Publishers Pick. Partially barrel-fermented in French and American oak and partially stainless steel-fermented, this multifaceted white features luscious flavors of apricot and caramel apple that are wrangled by good acid structure and tightwire minerality. Floral aromatics linger on the nose and palate, with honeysuckle petals gracing the tongue.

Lively green-apple aromas and mild, baking spice flavors make good counterpoints in this medium-bodied, complex and well-balanced wine. It's on the light side but has full flavors and a lingering, nutmeg finish.
