WINE DESCRIPTION

Ryder Estate Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Ryder Estate Winery, known for their commitment to sustainable farming practices. The grapes are sourced from the estate vineyards located in the Central Coast appellation of California, where the cool ocean breezes and well-draining soils create ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay. The winemaking process involves a combination of stainless steel and oak barrel fermentation, resulting in a balanced and complex wine with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and vanilla. This Chardonnay is a perfect example of the classic California style, with a rich and creamy texture and a satisfying finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and sweet citrus are all present in this Ryder Estate Chardonnay.The palate is full and creamy, with a pleasant minerality to the texture. The acidity is lively and well-balanced, with a hint of oak and spice complementing the ripe fruit flavors. This is a delicious and well-rounded Chardonnay with good structure and a pleasant finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ryder Estate

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.
