WINE DESCRIPTION

Carmel Road Unoaked Chardonnay is a premium white wine produced by Carmel Road Winery, known for their sustainable and eco-friendly practices. The grapes are sourced from the cool-climate appellation of Monterey, California, where the vineyards benefit from the coastal breezes and fog. The wine is made without oak aging, allowing the pure expression of the Chardonnay grape to shine through. The result is a crisp and refreshing wine with bright citrus and tropical fruit flavors, balanced by a subtle minerality. This style of Chardonnay is perfect for those who prefer a lighter and more vibrant wine, and pairs well with seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Carmel Road

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.
