Central Coast Chardonnay

The Calera Central Coast Chardonnay 2022 is a 100% Chardonnay from California's Central Coast, produced by Calera Wine Company. Founded by Josh Jensen in 1975, the winery was inspired by Burgundy's winemaking traditions. Jensen aimed to create similar styles of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in California, establishing the Central Coast as a significant wine region. The 2022 vintage benefited from a growing season with moderate temperatures and a late-season heat event that contributed to the wine's richness and acidity. The wine is sourced from various vineyards within the Central Coast appellation, including sites in Edna Valley, San Benito, and Monterey County.
