Chardonnay

This Chardonnay blends the abundance and power of Napa Valley with an agile touch of winemaking to showcase the estate fruit.

From vineyard to your glass, this fruit gets special attention, and is offered in a pure, Chablis like style.

Rich and creamy upon entry with notes of lemon curd, crème brulee and candied lemon peel, this wine presents beautiful layers of stone fruit. 

“This wine pairs well with poached or grilled seafood, shrimp or crab with spicy aioli, baby greens tossed in citrus honey vinaigrette, avocados, fruit salsa, shaved fennel, tangerines and triple crème cheeses.” ~ Chad Hendrickson, Executive Chef

Monterey’s combination of moderate climate and marine influences from the Pacific Ocean keep the grapes on an even keel, able to develop fully ripe flavors that tend to show some lemon and lime zest, a touch of ripe apple and tropical aromas and flavors.
