Cannonball Chardonnay

It all began with one varietal, Cabernet, and the vision to produce one of the best under $20 for the U.S. market. Combining his business acumen, legal knowledge, and passion for food, wine and California, founder Yoav Gilat decided to pursue his entrepreneurial dream and launched Cannonball Wine Company in 2006.

Today, we are present in 47 United States and 30 International markets. Armed with the same tireless passion that launched Cannonball in 2006, we are on a mission to, Share a Splash in every glass! We are passionate about offering wines we believe in and are committed to innovation and authenticity on every level of our business. We strive to create and maintain long -term relationships with all of our partners and to be continually growing our global network of brand ambassadors.

Early morning harvesting, gentle handling, cool fermentation temperatures both in stainless steel and in French oak, monthly lees stirring for mouthfeel and integration of nutty character, mid-cycle cellar blending, and marrying of the final blend for several months prior to bottling are our winemaking signature.

Yellow apple, Bosc pear, pineapple, and lemon fruit lead on the nose and are accented by an underlying current of toasty brioche and pastry notes, compliments of French oak aging and extended time sur lies. Light and crisp on the palate with tangy quince, spiced pear, and lemon rounding out the mid-palate. Earthy floral notes of nasturtium and saffron ground the barrel notes of brown sugar and toffee and reveal an appealing complex of starfruit and sweet hay. Classic apple fruit, vanilla, and meringue notes embellish the finish and an elegant vein of acidity maintains freshness, vibrance, and harmony.
