Matchbook Old Head Chardonnay is a full-bodied, rich, creamy and oaky wine in the traditional Californian style – lovers of bigger style Chardonnay will enjoy this immensely. The wine is 100% grown, produced and bottled on site at the Matchbook vineyard / winery in Dunnigan Hills and the entire business is family owned and operated – there is a great story to tell.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Matchbook Chardonnay pours a brilliant golden-straw hue, hinting at the richness within. A creamy texture envelops the palate, unfolding into vibrant layers of mango, pineapple, and citrus, perfectly balanced with gentle toasty barrel notes. A touch of creamy lees adds depth, leading to a bright, indulgent finish reminiscent of lemon meringue. Elegant yet approachable, this Chardonnay pairs beautifully with coconut shrimp, roasted poultry, or any dish that calls for a touch of bright, tropical sophistication."
89/100 & Best Buy, Tonya Pitts, Wine Enthusiast, February 2026 (2023 Vintage)
"Lush, with aromas of white peach, nectarine, Golden Delicious apple, pineapple, creamy vanilla, and clove, and supple mineral notes on the finish."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Upfront and enticing, the wine shows rich tropical fruit, summer peach, melon, and vanillin oak characters with a seductive of toffee overtone. The concentrated palate delivers a fleshy texture and creamy mouthfeel, beautifully framed by mellow acidity, making it delectable and satisfying. At its best: now to 2027."
