Matt Iaconis Delta California Chardonnay 2020
About the wine
Bright, balanced, barrel-fermented Chardonnay from star winemaker Matt Iaconis
- This limited-edition Chardonnay strikes just the right balance between ripe fruit flavors, like munching crisp yellow apple, with a slight touch of vanilla from fermenting in oak barrels.
- Matt sourced this Chardonnay from a cool-climate vineyard in the Sacramento Delta, where afternoon breezes kept temperatures in check, helping this Chardonnay’s grapes ripen slowly and evenly.
- Husband-and-wife team Matt and Alexis Iaconis founded Delta as a line of small-production wines to champion a host of their favorite regions around the Golden State. Plus, for every bottle sold, they donate a portion of the proceeds to a variety of environmental agencies to fight climate change.

- This rocket scientist was studying to be an astronaut before he decided wine was even cooler than space. So he dropped aeronautics and picked up a degree in winemaking from UC Davis.
- And he dropped conventional distribution just as quickly! When he saw the power of Angel funding, he immediately signed up, eager to create better wines at better prices.
- Angel funding allows this hugely talented and driven individual to apply all his attention to making the best wine possible. Whether he’s keeping it classic with big, bold Cabernet or putting a fresh, vibrant spin on traditional whites, you freed Matt to make show-stopping wines for an incredibly delicious price.
