NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Retzlaff Chardonnay is a delightful white wine with the classic characteristics of the Chardonnay grape.With its pale straw color, this wine offers a bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and creamy, with flavors of ripe apple, pear, and a touch of butter. The well-integrated oak adds complexity and a subtle toastiness to the wine. The acidity is balanced, providing a refreshing finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Retzlaff

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.
