Summer Dreams Stargazing Chardonnay

White Wine | 750mL | Sonoma Coast, California, USA | 100% Chardonnay | French Oak Barrel Fermentation

Process & Profile

Summer Dreams Stargazing Chardonnay pairs the richness of ripe California fruit with the freshness of the Sonoma Coast. Sourced from selected coastal vineyard sites, it reflects a landscape shaped by sunshine, marine fog, and well-draining Goldridge soils.

The wine is barrel fermented in French oak vessels of different sizes, building texture around its orchard-fruit and citrus character. Barrel selection brings the vineyard components together into a Chardonnay with a rounded palate and a lively finish.

Summer Dreams is the Sonoma Coast project of Jayson Woodbridge, founder of Hundred Acre, working alongside winemaker Ashley Holland. Stargazing expresses their focus on coastal vineyard sites through generous fruit, floral detail, and a creamy texture balanced by freshness. Precise tasting characteristics and winemaking details can vary by vintage.

How to Enjoy

Serve lightly chilled in a white wine glass with enough room to swirl. Allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help its pear, citrus, floral, and toasted-almond aromas become more expressive.
