Log in / Sign up La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2018
This exquisite wine presents a bouquet of Meyer lemon, grilled pineapple, and guava, which gracefully lead the way to a palate adorned with the flavors of ripe nectarine, luscious papaya, and the zesty fusion of lemon and tangerine. Subtle hints of spice and minerality add depth to the tasting experience, while the wine's harmonious acidity dances on the palate, leaving a lasting impression that lingers beautifully on the finish.
Pair Chardonnay with meaty fish (halibut, cod) and shellfish (lobster, shrimp, crab, scallops.)
The nose is open with elegance, soft aromas of stonefruit melded with vanilla, barrel spices and a touch of cream. Medium-full-bodied, aromas of peaches, and nectarines interweave caramel popcorn, butterscotch, vanilla biscuit and barrel spices.
The oak elements are well-proportioned, adding richness in flavour; bright acidity balanced the richness, flow effortlessly, lends a lifted, mineral finish. This is an elegant Californian Chardonnay with flavours of stonefruit, caramel popcorns, barrel spice details on a balanced, smooth-flowing palate.
