2007 Mer Soleil Chardonnay Barrel Fermented

Chardonnay: 750ml

$34.99

about this wine:

Mer Soleil Chardonnay is made in a complex, barrel-fermented style reminiscent of the white wines of Burgundy but with the generous, sun-ripened flavors of California. In the winery, all the vineyard lots are kept separate and fermented for 1 year in French oak barrels chosen from an array of coopers. Depending on the vintage, a varying portion will undergo malolactic fermentation, and the length of barrel aging is adjusted lot by lot. Finally, the wine is blended, maintaining distinct layers of flavor and balanced acidity.

Fresh, rich, intense and vibrant. Full-bodied, with spicy pear, green apple, honeydew melon and light oak shadings, ending with a long, pure, ripe focus. Drink now through 2015.

About Winery

The Mer Soleil Vineyard, located in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County, is named for two natural forces that create its growing conditions: sea (mer) and sun (soleil).  

Mer Soleil's vines are nestled on lower slopes of the Sierra de Salinas range in what is one of the coolest, driest grape growing areas in California. During the growing season, warmer inland temperatures at the southern end of the Salinas Valley pull cooling morning and evening fogs into the vineyards, while the afternoons are warm and sunny. Brisk afternoon breezes keep the grapes dry and pristine.

Charlie Wagner II is the winemaker and viticulturist.
