WINE DESCRIPTION

Mer Soleil Barrel Fermented Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by the Wagner family in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of California. The vineyard is located in a cooler region, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including barrel fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, which gives it a rich and creamy texture. The wine has a beautiful golden color and aromas of ripe tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of pineapple, mango, and citrus, balanced by a refreshing acidity. This wine is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted, full-bodied Chardonnay with a rich and complex flavor profile.

ORIGINS

Winery: Mer Soleil

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.
