Calera Chardonnay Central Coast 2023

$24.99
Impeccably balanced, this Chardonnay reflects its cool-climate coastal roots with aromas of lemon zest, apricot, and delicate orange blossom. On the palate, vibrant notes of golden apple and pineapple are elevated by bright acidity, delivering focus and energy to a crisp, refreshing finish.

Gorgeous, the 2023 Chardonnay is from 1984-planted, own-rooted vines planted at 2,200-feet elevation. Incredible barrel-spiced aromatics open to a full-bodied, generously layered, concentrated palate of mineral-driven gravelly texture and flavors of apple skin, baked peach, and brioche. Rounded, with bristling underlying acidity, it has weight with freshness and finesse, chalky in texture with a long finish.
