The 2006 Pietra Santa Chardonnay is delightfully crisp and fresh, produced from cool, coastal vineyards in the Cienega Valley on California’s central coast. The maritime breezes and longer growing season beneficially maximizes the character and flavor potential of the Chardonnay grapes. A Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, this Chardonnay features lemongrass, citrus, pear, and green apple flavors with bright acidity and subtle hints of oak. The wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation to develop a creamy texture that complements the natural lively fruit flavors.
