Chardonnay

Wine Style

A big, rounded wine with aromas of ripe pear, crisp apple, and bright citrus met with decadent vanilla & crème brûlée through the mid-palate and finish. This Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented and aged in French and American oak for 8 months.

Pairing Suggestion
This wine goes great with chicken, a creamy pasta, or just enjoying on the patio to celebrate the end of the work week.

Appellation & Farming

Tribute Chardonnay is sourced from the renowned growing region of the Monterey AVA, primarily from two vineyards, McCoy Vineyard and San Lucas Vineyard. Our McCoy Vineyard provides a temperate microclimate from the Pacific fog that settles across the vineyards and promotes acidity development & steady retention of acidity. The windy weather, sandy soil, and fog contribute to an elongated growing season. Our San Lucas Vineyard, known for its wider diurnal temperature swings, brings well-ripened fruit that contributes tropical flavors.
