Winemaking
More than 50 percent of the Meridian Chardonnay is grown in the coolest regions of Santa
Barbara County where classic, sought-after characteristics of vibrant acidity and tropical fruit
flavors are typical. The sandy soil keeps yields low and fruit intensity high. A portion of the
wine comes from Monterey County, complementing the wine with wonderful tropical fruit
flavors. Approximately half of the blend is fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain purity
of fruit, while the balance ferments on seasoned French and American oak. This is a classic
California Chardonnay with lush tropical fruit flavors enhanced with a wonderful creaminess
and a crisp lasting finish.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of caramel and vanilla mingle pleasingly on the nose, with a hint of sweet oak. Tropicalfruit flavors dominate on the palate – pineapple and green apple mingle seamlessly with hintsof brown sugar and butterscotch. The influence of 100% malolactic fermentation lends a
creamy, buttery component to the mouthfeel. This well-balanced California Chardonnay
finishes with a nice acidity that is perfect on its own or paired with a variety of foods.ect wine from our award-winning selection.
