McBride Sisters Chardonnay

The McBride Sisters winery was formed out of a mutual passion for wine and a similar upbringing in the vineyard and wineries in 2 different continents, Monterey, California and Marlborough, New Zealand respectively. When they met they had an instant connection.  Their core values are to be sustainable, empowering, innovative, and help their community. They create wines that had both old word style and new world charm. They have succeeded on all fronts tenfold. They are the largest African-American owned winery in the United States. In 2019 they founded “The McBride Sisters SHE CAN Professional Development Fund” to promote the professional advancement of women in the wine industry through scholarships, financial aid and business funding, as well as provide COVID relief to struggling small blackowned businesses.

This Chardonnay from Central Coast, California isn’t all about oak and more oak. It reflects the wines of the McBride’s upbringings and terroirs. It has a creamy textured, refreshing and pleasant flavors of white peach, pineapple, apple, pear, lemon, caramel, smoke and nice acidity.

Pairs very well with charcoal sage turkey burgers, roasted butternut squash risotto, pumpkin apple soup.
