1924 Scotch Barrel Aged Chardonnay

The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors.

Rumor has it, that during an era of gangsters and speakeasies, Scotch found its way to the American coastline through covert speedboats that could outrun the Coast Guard. Scotch, known for its quality, was considered liquid gold and sold at a premium to bootleggers. In honor of that bold time, two once-forbidden favorites come together to inspire this 1924 Scotch Barrel-aged Chardonnay
