American White Wine: Rich, Creamy USA California Chardonnay

When it comes to American white wine, one grape reigns supreme: Chardonnay. And nowhere does it better than sun soaked California.

Our American white collection is a celebration of California Chardonnay, from rich, creamy classics to fresher, more elegant modern styles. Chilled and poured, it is pure golden state sunshine.

What Is American White Wine?

American white wine is white wine made in the United States, above all in California, the country's wine heartland. Here, white wine means Chardonnay, the grape that made California famous.

California's warm days and cool coastal fogs are ideal for Chardonnay, giving whites that are ripe, rounded and full of flavour, with a smooth, often creamy texture.

These are dry, generous whites, made to be enjoyed young while their fruit is at its most vibrant.

Popular American White Wine Styles

California Chardonnay is the star, and it comes in two main styles. The classic version is rich and golden, with ripe peach, melon and a buttery, oaky warmth from ageing in oak barrels.

The modern style is fresher and more restrained, with bright citrus, green apple and a crisp, mineral edge, especially from cool coastal regions like the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley.

Whichever you prefer, California Chardonnay always delivers plenty of character and charm.

How to Serve American White Wine

Serve richer California Chardonnay lightly chilled, around 10 to 12 degrees, which lets its creamy texture and aromas shine. Crisper styles are lovely a touch cooler.

Reach for a standard white wine glass, and enjoy it young and fresh.

Food Pairing Ideas

Rich California Chardonnay is a dream with roast chicken, creamy pasta and grilled fish.

It also loves lobster, prawns and anything in a buttery sauce, while crisper styles suit salads, sushi and fresh seafood.

What Is California Chardonnay?

California Chardonnay is one of the New World's great white wines, and the style that put American wine on the map. Grown up and down the state, it ranges from opulent and oaky to fresh and refined.

The classic Californian style is generous and golden, all ripe stone fruit, vanilla and butter, thanks to fermentation and ageing in oak. Cooler coastal sites now also make leaner, brighter versions with real elegance.

If you love a rich, satisfying white, California Chardonnay is right up your street.
