Product notes
Chardonnay comes from 3 distinct terroirs on the Californian coast for more depth and texture. Santa Barbara and Soltano bring richness, while Monterey brings acidity and mineral freshness.
Production notes
Harvest from late September to mid October. This wine is lightly oaky in a blend of older and newer French oak barrels, with a small percentage going through malolactic fermentation. Another portion is fermented and aged in stainless steel.
Tasting notes
With a golden hue and a shimmering lightness, this wine gives off fresh scents of lemon zest and peach and apricot nectar, in addition to a hint of brioche, balanced by a mineral character. The entry in the mouth is ample, filling the mouth with lemon / lime and flavors perceived on the nose. Integrated wood mixes with the light salty taste of an ocean breeze. The roundness of this wine is counterbalanced by its lively acidity, which continues on the invigorating finish. Sea Sun goes extremely well with a variety of foods and is suitable for a wide range of palates.
