ANAPAMU
CHARDONNAY
Monterey County
2000

                              
Monterey County provides a climate that is ideally suited for the growing of premium Chardonnay grapes. Cooling marine air and fog make Monterey’s growing season the longest of the entire grape growing regions in California. Our Anapamu Monterey County Chardonnay expresses the lush tropical fruit that results from these conditions, with a brilliant golden hue and up front juicy pineapple citrus aromas. The wine has a rich, buttery, creamy mouthfeel balanced with firm acidity, providing freshness and a lingering pleasant finish.
Varietal Content: 98% Chardonnay
Residual Sugar:   .3
Titratable Acidity: 0.6g/100ml
pH: 3.57
Alcohol Level: 13.6%
We recommend this wine to be served with olive oil based Mediterranean dishes, particularly pasta with pesto or served in an "Alfredo" sauce. This wine will equally pair with fish or fowl dishes with a butter/oil base to the sauce and with Italian seasonings such as basil and tarragon.
