Buttery

Central Coast Chardonnay

Josh Cellars Buttery Chardonnay is a delightful representation of the Central Coast's rich winemaking tradition. This Chardonnay boasts a lovely full body that is both creamy and smooth, enveloping the palate with luxurious textures. The wine presents a vibrant, bright acidity that balances the richness and keeps it lively and refreshing. On the nose and palate, you'll encounter prominent fruit intensity with notes of ripe pineapple, golden apple, and a hint of citrus, all beautifully interwoven with nuances of vanilla and butterscotch from oak aging. This approachable yet sophisticated wine pairs wonderfully with creamy pastas, roasted chicken, and seafood dishes, making it a versatile and food-friendly choice for any occasion. Josh Cellars Buttery Chardonnay truly exemplifies why the Central Coast is revered for its Chardonnay production, delivering both elegance and indulgence in every sip.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
