WINE DESCRIPTION

Wenzlau Estate Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Wenzlau Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in the Santa Rita Hills appellation of California. The vineyard is known for its unique terroir, which includes a cool climate, sandy loam soil, and ocean breezes that create ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes and fermenting them in French oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak. This Chardonnay is a perfect example of the Santa Rita Hills style, with a balance of fruit and acidity that makes it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Wenzlau

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.
