La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2020
Country/Region of Origin: United States of America

Region: U.S.A., California, Monterey County

Grape variety: Chardonnay

Background: Monterey is one of the coolest and longest growing regions in California allowing the grapes to fully develop and slowly ripen on the vine. Because of this, barrel ageing is kept to just 6.5 months and then released.

Tasting notes: Aromas of baked apple, brioche and pineapple are followed by flavours of Asian pear, lemon, tangerine and notes of minerality. The 2019 vintage presents balanced acidity and a long finish. On the nose, meyer lemon, passionfruit, grilled pineapple and guava. Nectarine, papaya and crisp lemon-tangerine notes are complimented by touch of spice and complexing minerality on the palate.
