Calera Central Coast Chardonnay 2015 (Case of 12), USA

Rich, succulent white wine with aromas of almond, tangerines and key lime pie with a zingy, citrus finish.

Calera Central Coast Chardonnay is a dry, full bodied white wine from California, USA. It's 100% Chardonnay with 14.2% abv. Suitable for Vegans.

Sold by the case only, 12 x 75cl. A pristine Chardonnay from Calera, selected from the top vineyards in San Barbera, Monterey and San Luis. The 2015 vintage follows California's fourth year of a drought and resulted in very low yields, meaning the limited run of wines from this vintage have great depth and concentration. After hand harvesting, the whole grape clusters were pressed and the juice was gently moved by gravity to Calera’s barrel cellar. Fermentation in barrels by native yeasts is followed by complete malolactic fermentation. It's a mouthcoating, rich white wine with a silky, creamy texture and notes of buttery poached pears, ripe tangerine, gardenia and lemon with accents of almonds and key lime pie. The finish is delightfully zingy.
