Mer Soleil Silver Chardonnay
| Description: | This second vintage follows last year's successful debut of Silver, an effort to unite the crisp mineral essence of classic Chablis style with the tropical elements found in Chardonnay of the Pacific coastline. Using Chardonnay grown in special blocks of the Mer Soleil Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County, we harvested the grapes when just fully ripe, their gold color hued with the green, expressing clean aromas of Chardonnay fruit and firm acidity. The grapes were pressed and fermented in both stainless steel and cement vats, with no oak contact or malolactic fermentation. We bottled the wine early in the year and capped it with a twist top to maintain its fresh character and crisp citrus finish Region Description. Santa Lucia Highlands are an appellation located in the Salinas Valley in Monterey California. In the northeast the climate is cooler, and chardonnay is the key grape. Where as in the southwest the weather is warmer and Pinot noir Dominates. |
