WINE DESCRIPTION

Metz Road Riverview Vineyard Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Metz Road Winery, known for their exceptional quality wines. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Riverview Vineyard in the Salinas Valley of Monterey. The vineyard is situated on a hillside, providing excellent drainage and exposure to the sun, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful barrel fermentation and aging in French oak, which imparts a rich and creamy texture to the wine. The style of this Chardonnay is elegant and refined, with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and vanilla, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Metz Road Riverview Vineyard Chardonnay offers a classic Chardonnay style with a complex array of flavors.Aromas of ripe green apple and pear, with hints of toasted oak, greet the nose. On the palate, flavors of ripe apple, citrus and honeycomb mingle with the subtle oak and buttery undertones. The finish is bright and refreshing, with a lingering hint of minerality. A delightful expression of Chardonnay from the Riverview Vineyard.

ORIGINS

Winery: Metz 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.
