Wente Vineyards Riva Ranch Arroyo Seco Chardonnay Monterey 2021 750ml

Our 2021 Riva Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay opens with toasty oak aromatics, complemented by fruit notes from baked apple to freshly cut pineapple, melted caramel, and toasted brioche on the palate. Our Riva Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from our Riva Ranch Vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey. Arroyo Seco, where we have been growing grapes since the 1960s, is widely regarded as one of the best places in California to grow Chardonnay. The long, cool growing season with the deep gravelly soil ripens the Chardonnay perfectly which gives a natural balance of sugar and acidity. Our 2021 Riva Ranch Chardonnay pairs well with soft cheeses and sourdough bread. Lobster tails with clarified butter, shrimp scampi, and pasta with lemon crème and capers.
