"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:


Edna Valley

Situated in the southern portion of the Central Coast, Edna Valley is one of California's best-kept secrets. The region produces balanced Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, plus fragrant Syrah and Viognier. Here it is all about the terroir. Edna lies close to the coast, encircled by volcanic hills that give the valley its rich array of soils. As the cool air and fog swirl in off Morro Bay, they are trapped by the mountains, creating the longest growing season in the entire state. This allows grapes to ripen gently over a long period, developing their full spectrum of flavors while staying impressively fresh.
