2009 Monterey Chardonnay

De Tierra Vindegard is a stunning 2009 Chardonnay hailing from the picturesque Monterey region, known for its exceptional cool climate and coastal influences that impart remarkable character to the wines. This full-bodied white exudes a bright, mouthwatering acidity that refreshes the palate while balancing the lush fruit intensity. With pronounced notes of crisp green apple, ripe pear, and subtle citrus, it captivates with an elegant vibrancy. The wine is beautifully dry, allowing the mineral undertones to shine through, which is a hallmark of Monterey's unique terroir. Overall, De Tierra Vindegard presents itself as a sophisticated and harmonious expression of Chardonnay, worthy of exploration and enjoyment.

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.
