2023 29 Barrels Private Reserve Monterey County Chardonnay

Discover perfect balance in every sip of this 29 Barrels Private Reserve Chardonnay from Monterey County. The primary bouquet is autumnal, rippled with fruity aromas of red and yellow apple. Delicious hints of barrel fermentation leap out in secondary flavors of coconut, cream, and toasted vanilla. On the palate, this Californian white is full-bodied yet bursting with life and color, brimming with bright notes that lead to a long, creamy finish. This Californian Chardonnay hails from Monterey County, a relative newcomer to the winemaking world, with vineyards first sprouting up around the mid to late 1970s. Despite its relative youth, this Central Californian district rapidly ascended to become one of the premier winemaking regions in the state and the entire New World. Radiant sunshine and brisk evenings work in tandem to impart bright flavor to every white grape that makes up this golden Chardonnay. This barrel-fermented Chardonnay deserves to be savored on special occasions and served with well-balanced culinary company. We recommend rich poutine, roasted chicken, or a piping-hot bowl of veggie-fried rice.
