At DeLoach Vineyards we strive to produce distinctive wines that spotlight unique terroirs in a socially and environmentally responsible way, practice sustainable viticulture and utilize minimally intrusive winemaking techniques. The grapes for our Chardonnay were carefully chosen from cool, fog-influenced vineyards sustainably farmed throughout the Central Coast AVA.

Winemaking
The grapes for our Central Coast Chardonnay were selectively harvested at night before undergoing a cold fermentation for 20 days and being aged on lees for 8 months in 100% stainless steel. The lees were stirred weekly to provide a nice creaminess to the mid-palate and to perfectly accentuate the wine’s naturally bright acidity.

Nose
Our Central Coast Chardonnay opens with brilliant aromas of green apple and citrus that are beautifully accented by vibrant mineral notes.
-
Palate
Bright flavors of honeysuckle and passion fruit dance on the palate, ending with a hint of lemon. The wine displays a crisp acidity while maintaining a balanced palate and creamy texture that leads to a long, satisfying finish.
