Unoaked

2009 Central Coast Chardonnay

Chamisal Vineyards Unoaked Chardonnay from the 2009 vintage showcases the vibrant character of the Central Coast region. This delightful white wine features a light body that feels refreshing on the palate, with a bright acidity that dances elegantly alongside the fruit flavors. With a medium fruit intensity, it delights with notes of green apple, lemon zest, and subtle hints of stone fruit. The wine is completely dry, allowing its crispness to shine through. This unoaked expression maintains a clean profile, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a pure and expressive Chardonnay that exemplifies the beautiful terroir of the 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.
