WINE DESCRIPTION

Beckon Chardonnay is a white wine produced by Beckon Wines, a renowned winery located in California's Central Coast region. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the cool climate of the Santa Maria Valley appellation, which is known for its unique soil and maritime influence. The vineyard features gentle slopes and well-draining soils that allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the wine being aged in French oak barrels to add subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with a crisp acidity, rich texture, and flavors of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate elegant and refined wines.

ORIGINS

Winery: Beckon

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
