Variety: 60% Chardonnay, 40% Muscat
Vintage: 2024
- Chardonnay from Wheeler Vineyard (San Benito County)
- Muscat from Cecchini Ranch (Contra Costa County)
Chardonnay and Muscat were harvested and fermented separately, then blended afterfermentation and aged together in neutral oak for eight months. One barrel of Chardonnay spent a short time on skins, adding just a flicker of texture. Compared to last year’s skin-contact blend of Malvasia, Assyrtiko, Picpoul and friends, this is something completely different, brighter, cooler, and more inviting from the first pour.
It opens with jasmine, citrus peel, and orange blossom, backed by soft Muscat aromatics. On the palate: green apple, ripe stone fruit, and a clean acid line that brings it all together. It’s layered but never loud, textured without trying too hard.
This is the kind of wine that makes everything feel just a little easier. Bright, fresh, and low stakes in the best way. It’s not about tasting notes or philosophy, it’s about the mood. And the mood is yes.
Is it a white wine? Yes. Is it orange? Sure. We’re not here to define it, we’re here to drink it.
No more categories. Just good wine with good energy. Chill it, drink it slow or fast, whatever orbit you’re in, L’Inattendu will meet you there. This is wine for leaning back, not leaning in.
