This is a vibrant Chardonnay from California’s Sonoma Coast region, loaded with scents of tropical fruits, citrus zest, and steely minerality. Gap’s Crown vineyard is the winery’s pride and joy, located on the foggy slopes of Sonoma Mountain, where strong winds flow through the Petaluma Gap and lengthen the growing season.

The winery takes its name from its owner, Bill Price III, who gained the nickname “Three Sticks” from the Roman numerals at the end of his name. He began his career in law, before transitioning into the wine industry - particularly vineyards and the “grower” side of production. He founded Three Sticks in 2002, and to this day, all of the resulting wines are made from 100% estate-owned vineyards.

The Gap’s Crown Chardonnay is medium to full-bodied in the mouth, with a core of golden fruits, cream, and American oak. You can find strong flavours of green apple, kiwi fruit, almond, and butter, with hints of minerality and baking spice. It is a complex and layered white wine, with great acidic depth and an unctuous mouthfeel. Consider pairing it with roast poultry, creamy pasta, or a risotto.
