Cold fermentation locks in those delicate floral and fruit notes, while aging in a combination of French and American oak delivers the creamy, buttery texture that California Chardonnay lovers crave. This is bold, rich, and unapologetically opulent—yet never heavy-handed. The Bodyguard name carries the same meaning here as it does for the red: protection, resilience, and the bonds of family that make everything possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DAO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49046274834652,"sku":"8111006","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/3675\/5932\/files\/BodyguardNVChard750.png?v=1775457523"}],"url":"https:\/\/thewineevent.com\/collections\/daou-vineyards.oembed","provider":"The Wine Event","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
