Avistelle 2017 Chardonnay Central Coast, California

Description

The area between the San Francisco Bay and the city of Los Angeles is a beautiful region to grow wine grapes. Known as the Central Coast, this region has an incredible diversity of microclimates and terroirs that are helped by cooling ocean winds that keep the grapes from becoming overripe. The Avistelle Chardonnay is a quintessential example of the region’s offerings. The wine has a complex nose boasting floral aromatics and fruit-forward notes of melon and pineapple. But there is more to this wine, and the bright mineral acidity and hints of vanilla make it a joy to explore again and again. These notes mean that the wine will pair beautifully with rich seafood or fried chicken. And it took home a Silver medal at the 2019 West Coast Wine Competition!
