WINE DESCRIPTION

Founded in 1974 as the first winery in Temecula Valley, Callaway is known for producing approachable and flavorful wines. The Callaway Winemaker's Reserve Late Harvest Chardonnay reflects the winery's commitment to quality. Made from carefully selected grapes, this wine benefits from a slow, cool fermentation process that preserves its varietal character. The resulting Chardonnay offers flavors of ripe tropical fruits, honeycrisp apple, and apricot, with a hint of apple blossom on the nose. The palate is smooth, leading to a long finish with notes of peach, nectarine, and subtle honey, balanced by refreshing acidity.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

When swirling, the wine reveals a clear, pale lemon-yellow hue with a golden honey tint.Its rich, viscous texture hints at the indulgence to come. The nose is vibrant, showcasing aromas of pineapple, yellow peach, lime, and grapefruit, with subtle notes of honeysuckle, elderflower, pear, and honeydew melon. On the palate, the wine is opulently sweet, featuring honey-drenched beeswax, canned peaches, and pineapple juice, with hints of orange. It finishes with a long, sumptuous sweetness that lingers, making it an ideal dessert wine.

ORIGINS

Winery: Callaway

Region: South Coast California

The South Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting some of the most diverse and exciting wines in the world. It is known as the seat of Californian viticulture, with Father Junipero Serra setting up the first mission there in 1769. Before the Prohibition era, it had the biggest wine industry in California. The South Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking. The region was first planted with vines in the late 1700s, when Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards in the area. Since then, the region has become a major player in the California wine industry, producing some of the most sought-after wines in the world.
