La Capilla Collection

2008 Paso Robles Chardonnay

The 2008 Daou La Capilla Collection Chardonnay is a remarkable expression of the Paso Robles region, showcasing the unique microclimate and terroir that influence its character. This full-bodied white offers a harmonious balance of high acidity and prominent fruit intensity, delivering vibrant notes of ripe citrus, pear, and a touch of stone fruit. With its well-integrated oak influence, the wine unfolds with layers of creamy texture and hints of vanilla, creating a delightful mouthwatering experience. The dryness of this Chardonnay accentuates its elegance, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings, particularly with dishes that highlight fresh seafood or rich, creamy sauces. The finesse and intricacy of the Daou La Capilla Collection truly reflect the craftsmanship that goes into producing this outstanding wine.

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.
