Mer Soleil, Chardonnay Reserve Santa Lucia Highlands 2022
Nose: Baked croissant, apricot, lemon/lime and honeysuckle
Palate: Round and creamy, notes of lemon squares and fresh natural acidity Style differentiator: Creamy yet fresh, the wine is balanced by lively acidity and bright citrus
Vineyards: Forty minutes south of Monterey, California, the Santa Lucia Highlands is known for having ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay
Farming notes: Cooling breezes off of Monterey Bay enable a slower ripening of the grapes, leading to an extended growing season and wine of heightened complexity and intense flavors
Aging: A mix of new and used French oak barrels for about 11 months. A portion goes through malolactic fermentation to ensure a firm acidity while hand stirring of the barrels imparts a creamy texture
