Calera Chardonnay Central Coast (2022)

Calera, a name synonymous with quality in the world of wine, hails from the Central Coast of California. Founded by Josh Jensen in 1974, Calera was born out of a passion for crafting exceptional wines. The region's unique terroir, with its limestone-rich soils and cool coastal breezes, plays a crucial role in the character of their wines. Each bottle tells a story of the land and the meticulous care that goes into every step of the winemaking process.

This Chardonnay from the 2021 vintage captures the essence of Calera’s dedication to quality.  Both energetic and enticing, this impeccably balanced Chardonnay shows its cool-climate coastal roots with aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, and fragrant honeysuckle. On the palate, notions of tropical pineapple mingle with zesty citrus flavors, with bright underlying acidity adding poise and energy to a long, refreshing finish.
