Low-ABV Chardonnay Spritz
Meet the low-ABV Chardonnay Spritz, a refreshing blend of Carneros Chardonnay, coconut water, pineapple juice, and sparkling water.
We love our glass of wine, but there are times when reaching for a low-ABV (alcohol by volume) wine cocktail just makes sense. Whether it’s an early afternoon gathering or we’re just in the mood to enjoy a lighter option, low-ABV wine cocktails offer flavor and complexity without the buzz.
Bursting with tropical flavors of coconut and pineapple perfectly balanced by the refreshing citrus notes of our Carneros Chardonnay, this Chardonnay Spritz is perfect for outdoor gatherings or as a mindful weeknight indulgence.
Creating this spritz at home couldn’t be easier. Just follow the steps below!

Why Low-ABV Wine Cocktails?
Low-ABV cocktails are perfect for warm Napa Valley afternoons when you want to enjoy a drink without the heaviness of a full-strength cocktail. Using Baldacci Chardonnay as the base adds real wine character — stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of oak — that you won't get from commercial spritzers.
This recipe works equally well with our Carneros Chardonnay (crisper, more citrus-forward) or with a Pinot Noir for a rosé-style spritz. Experiment and find your favorite. Visit us to taste the wines that inspired this recipe.
