"Pure"

2011 Edna Valley Chardonnay

Tolosa "Pure" is a beautifully crafted Chardonnay from the scenic Edna Valley, showcasing the region's unique terroir. With its pale golden hue, this 2011 vintage invites you in with enticing aromas of green apple and citrus, intermingled with subtle hints of minerality. On the palate, the wine exhibits a medium body that harmoniously balances a bright acidity, providing a refreshing and lively mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, bursting forth with flavors of ripe pear and lemon zest, supported by delicate oak undertones that lend a creamy texture. This Chardonnay is bone dry, making it incredibly food-friendly and an excellent choice for pairing with seafood or light salads. Its overall elegance and finesse truly embody the essence of Edna Valley winemaking.

Region:

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.
