La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2020
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.
Food Pairing: Enjoy it with grilled fish, pan-seared scallops or even delicate sushi.
Awards:
California State Fair 2022 - Gold.
