Description
The Baileyana Firepeak Chardonnay is bright and complex, smooth and balanced with refined acid structure and a nice creamy finish. This wine is created from a noteworthy Edna Valley vineyard affectionately named “Firepeak” after the chain of extinct volcanoes that once ruled the area where grapes now grow. The volcanic remnants in the soil combine with clay loam and rocky marine sediment to create an ideal environment for making remarkable Chardonnay.
Critical Acclaim

Wine Enthusiast
Dried lemon peel and sandalwood lead into earthier tones of damp forest logs and struck match on the nose of this bottling. There’s a tight, linear texture to the palate, where ashy and chalky flavors meet with light oak and seared pineapple.

Decanter
Sappy, fresh and lemony with a hint of melon, and pretty aromas touched with Digestive biscuit sweetness and warmth.
V90
Vinous
Bright straw. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit and floral qualities on the nose, along with hints of tarragon and honey. Silky and open-knit, offering pliant orange, pear and melon flavors that show good depth and no rough edges. Delivers very good tenacity and spicy lift on the finish, which echoes the tarragon and honey notes. Drinking window: 2021 – 2024
