WINE DESCRIPTION

DAOU Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by DAOU Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, California. The wine is made from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are situated at an elevation of 2,200 feet above sea level. The high altitude and unique microclimate of the vineyards result in grapes with exceptional flavor and complexity. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including barrel fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and elegant Chardonnay with notes of citrus, pear, and vanilla, and a long, smooth finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The DAOU Chardonnay is a full-bodied, luxurious wine with notes of apple, pear, and melon.The palate is lush and creamy, with a pleasantly round finish. The oak aging gives the wine a hint of toast and a subtle, lingering sweetness. The perfect accompaniment to a gourmet dinner.

ORIGINS

Winery: DAOU

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.
