Lapis Luna Chardonnay 2024 is a rich, rounded California Chardonnay that balances ripe orchard and tropical fruit with gentle oak and refreshing acidity. Made from 100% Chardonnay, the wine combines stainless-steel fermentation with lightly toasted French oak, while natural full malolactic fermentation contributes a creamy, smooth texture.

Established in 1999, Lapis Luna translates to “stone” and “moon”. Over the past 20 years, we have been on a journey to produce exceptional wines from incredible California vineyards. Our wines deliver fresh and vibrant fruit, balanced with lively acidity and good structure, creating true-to-varietal expressions that can be enjoyed every night of the week.

Fruit was night harvested resulting in slow, cold fermentations. Upon picking, grapes were destemmed and carefully pressed. The juice was cold settled over 4 days, after which the clear juice was racked off of heavy solids. The wine was fermented with a combination of stainless steel and lightly toasted French oak with full malolactic fermentation occurring naturally.
