Cima Collina Santa Lucia Highlands Tondre Grapefield Chardonnay

The History

The Tondre Grapefield vineyard has skillfully grown Pinot Noir for a long time but they have recently branched out by planting other varietals, including Chardonnay. Located on the eastern side of River Road, this site has offers a well- draining sandy-loam soil with southwestern exposure (not to mention a resplendent view of the Salinas Valley below).

The Grape

100 % Chardonnay

Tasting note

This is our most opulent, complex California-style Chardonnay yet but still retains balanced acidity and offers aromas and flavors of toasty oak, vanilla, butterscotch, melon and sports a lengthy finish. Enjoy chilled on its own or with Dungeness crab cakes, filet of sole or herb roasted chicken.
