Flipflop Chardonnay
California Chardonnay, soft oak, honest price, poured here for years.
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.
