2013 Chardonnay, Monterey County
Our History
At BARGETTO WINERY, we have been dedicated to
producing fine Santa Cruz Mountain wines for over 80 years.
As one of California’s most historic wineries, and the oldest
winery of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the third generation of
Bargettos continues to pursue winemaking excellence and
innovation.
The Appellation
With its distinct afternoon breezes and cool evenings,
Monterey County provides an ideal region for growing
Chardonnay. The delicate honeysuckle aromas and fruity
flavors develop nicely in this coastal area.
Winemaker’s Notes
This 2013 Monterey County Chardonnay marks a debut
vintage for this particular wine within our Retro Label Series.
Monterey County has moderate temperatures and cool
morning fog during the growing season which makes it an
ideal place to grow Chardonnays with tropical aromatics,
crisp acidity and complex minerality. This wine is bright
straw hue and brilliant clarity. The nose is fresh and clean,
with subtle hints of orange zest and nectarine. Meyer lemon
and vanilla dance on the palate; these flavors are reminiscent
of a freshly baked lemon tart. A hint of apple lingers on the
finish. Pair this wine with summer salads, fresh grilled fish
and roasted chicken. This wine is meant to be enjoyed young,
drink now through 2015.
