Arroyo Chardonnay

2005 Arroyo Seco, Monterey Chardonnay

The Wente Vineyards Arroyo Chardonnay from the 2005 vintage is a delightful expression of this classic varietal hailing from the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied profile that perfectly balances its vibrancy with a refreshing character. The acidity is bright and lively, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of ripe pear, green apple, and subtle hints of citrus that dance on the palate. With its mild dryness, this Chardonnay is smooth and approachable, while gentle oak influences weave in, adding complexity and depth. Enjoy this elegant wine as it beautifully captures the essence of its terroir.
