Chardonnay

2016 Monterey Chardonnay

The 2016 Vina Robles Chardonnay is a delightful white wine hailing from the picturesque Monterey region. This Chardonnay exhibits a medium-bodied profile with a refreshing crispness, making it incredibly food-friendly. With its bright acidity and a fruit intensity that leans towards prominent tropical notes, this wine captures the essence of sun-kissed grapes. You'll also find hints of stone fruits and a subtle touch of oak that adds a layer of complexity without overwhelming the palate. The dryness of this Chardonnay perfectly complements its character, resulting in a lively and enjoyable experience that’s perfect for any occasion.

Central Coast
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.
