At Sunny with a Chance of Flowers, we think you shouldn't have to say goodbye to your balanced lifestyle whenever you want to celebrate. Our Chardonnay offers a crisp, fresh taste perfect for dinner parties, happy hours, or unwinding at home.
What Does Sunny's Chardonnay Taste Like?
Sunny Wines skips the additives and extra sugar for a naturally delicious Chardonnay that's 100% good vibes.
Tasting Notes
Chardonnay wines tend to vary widely depending on where the grape is grown, producing a range of styles. Not all Chardonnays taste buttery or feature rich tropical fruit flavors.
Sunny's Chardonnay is more typical of those from cooler climates, with a clear, pale golden color, delicate oak influence, and bright aromas of citrus and orchard fruits like apple and Bartlett pear. Fresh, fruity flavors finish with a gentle kiss of vanilla, and the light-to-medium body is quenching, not overpowering.
What Makes It Different
Made from sustainably farmed Chardonnay grapes without gluten-containing or animal-derived fining agents, Sunny Chardonnay has goodness in every drop. Unlike many white wines, there's no residual sugar and no added sugar. And at 85 calories per 5-oz serving, Sunny Chardonnay is significantly lighter than a typical pour of Chardonnay, making it an easy fit for a more balanced way to enjoy wine.
With 9% ABV, Sunny also has 30% less alcohol than a standard Chardonnay. That makes it the perfect wine for regret-free unwinding on a Tuesday evening or enjoying an anytime celebration.
How to Enjoy Sunny Chardonnay
From a casual weeknight in the backyard to a sit-down dinner party, there's never a bad time for a glass of Sunny Chardonnay.
Food Pairings
The delicate flavor and crisp acidity of Sunny Chardonnay are the perfect accompaniment to a lighter-fare dinner of poultry or seafood. While it can make a fine meal of roasted chicken or grilled white fish sing, its rounded citrus notes and light tropical fruit aroma work just as well with a weekday salad or grain bowl.
You don't need a full meal to enjoy Sunny, either. Its softly fruity flavors and subtle vanilla finish make it an ideal food pairing for soft cheeses like Brie or mozzarella.
Serving Tips
To get peak freshness from your Sunny Chardonnay, chill to 45–50°F before enjoying. Unlike Chardonnays made for extended bottle aging, Sunny is crafted to be enjoyed fresh, so there's no need to cellar it before pouring. This lighter style doesn't need a wide-bowled Burgundy glass and can be poured into a standard white wine glass or whatever you have handy.
Keep Sunny on hand for guests who prefer a lower-alcohol option, or for your own mid-week pours. Our Chardonnay wine is also a great choice when hosting a wellness-themed event.
