Chardonnay Chamisal Vineyards

Chardonnay Chamisal Vineyards Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: The Edna Valley achieved recognition as a distinctive appellation with the planting of its first vineyard, "Chamisal," (Spanish for chestnut flower) in 1972. This cool, coastal site offers an ideal mineral rich terroir to Burgundian grape varieties. This legendary vineyard was replanted in the mid 90s to an array of chardonnay clones that fully express authentic varietal character and the extraordinary growing conditions. Emphasis on modern genetic chardonnay clones, mineral rich soils and a cool coastal Pacific site contribute to a maximum expression of grape purity. The Central Coast pedigree of this wine wears its persona on its sleeve - tropical aromatics and hints of bread leavening aromas lead to a bright and lively palate of grapefruit and apricot flavors.
