This vintage exudes a light and refreshing character, making it an easy choice for any occasion. With a mild acidity that brightens the palate, it offers a beautifully balanced profile that enhances its fruit-forward nature. Expect prominent notes of green apple and pear, complemented by subtle hints of stone fruit that contribute to its overall elegance. The wine is bone dry, ensuring a clean finish that leaves a lasting impression. This Chardonnay is a true reflection of the Central Coast's unique terroir and is perfect for pairing with seafood, poultry, or simply enjoying on a sunny afternoon.

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.
