The 2022 Chardonnay Montes Alpha is sourced from Casablanca and Leyda in the Coastal Range. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, this yellow wine presents green apple notes alongside hints of creamed corn and a touch of vanilla. Indulgent and creamy on the palate, the subtly refreshing mouthfeel leads to a plush finish. This is a well-crafted, judiciously oaked coastal Chardonnay

Lime and yeasty notes form the fragrant bouquet. This wine has weight and the creamy texture carries honey-drizzle lime, mango and vanilla bean. Flavors are balanced due to lively acidity

Oatmeal, creamy lees, fresh pineapple, hazelnuts and lemon curd. Round and medium-bodied on the palate, with fresh acidity and a creamy, medium-long finish. Very consistent. No malolactic this year, aiming for freshness.

Textbook chardonnay with a layer of oatmeal and stones to the lemon curd and roasted pineapple character. Creamy and round with a bright streak of acidity that cuts through the generous, fleshy palate.

The 2021 Chardonnay Alpha hails from the Casablanca and was aged 12 month in French oak, 30% new. Yellow in hue. In the nose presents notes of creamed corn and green apple over a vanilla layer. Indulgent and creamy in the mouth, the heightened acidity chiseled a taut and refreshing lengthy finish.
