Its Origins
Matchbook Wine Company is a family-owned winery tucked away in Northern California's gently rolling Dunnigan Hills. The Giguiere family immigrated to Yolo County from Quebec City in the 1850’s in search of open ag ground. John and Karl Giguiere are 5th generation farmers who know the region’s soil, climate and true potential of the land. This knowledge combined with their curiosity and drive to innovate defines their determination to constantly improve the viticulture and winemaking of the region.
What The Critics Say
93/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"A very engaging bouquet of roasted stone fruits, whipped cream, nut and pomaceous fruits. There’s a distinctive wood scents of smoke and spice, vanilla and nutmeg. Full-bodied with satin-cream texture, richness and persistent flavours of stone fruits, apple and spices that reflect the bouquet. Delicious, fresh and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029."
95/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim (2018 vintage)
"Combining opulence with graceful sophistication, this is a stunning California chardonnay filled with delectable flavours. The fragrant bouquet shows golden peach, vanilla, spicy oak and oatmeal characters with a light touch of citrus zest. The powerful, concentrated palate exhibits outstanding depth and layers rich texture, leading to a persistent seamless finish. At its best: now to 2028. $45.00. NZ Distributor: Procure. May 2021."
