The story

The story behind Flipflop

Flipflop Chardonnay arrived in January 2011, launched by vintner David Georges under the Underdog Wine Merchants portfolio, part of The Wine Group. The grapes are California grown, much of it from the Central Coast, and the bottle is 100% Chardonnay. Fermentation is straightforward and the oak contact stays soft, enough to bring vanilla without burying the fruit.

We have poured it across this counter for years, and it has never pretended to be anything but what it is: a medium bodied, fruit forward white at 13 to 13.5% ABV. The lineup grew in late 2012 with a Bubbly Chardonnay, but the still bottle remains the flagship. Contains sulfites.

Good to know

Flipflop questions, answered

Is Flipflop Chardonnay sweet or dry?
Flipflop Chardonnay is a dry, medium bodied white. The soft oak adds a vanilla note that reads rich rather than sweet, so expect ripe fruit up front and a clean finish.
Where is Flipflop Chardonnay made?
It is made in California from 100% Chardonnay grapes, with much of the fruit sourced from the Central Coast. The brand launched in January 2011 under Underdog Wine Merchants.
What is the alcohol content of Flipflop Chardonnay?
Flipflop Chardonnay runs between 13% and 13.5% alcohol by volume. That puts it in line with a typical California Chardonnay and makes it a steady food wine rather than a cocktail pour.
How should I serve Flipflop Chardonnay?
Serve it chilled, around 45 to 50 degrees, in a standard white wine glass. Pull it from the fridge about ten minutes before pouring so the oak and fruit both show.
