Unoaked! Crisp and bright on palette. Mer Soleil is one of the favorites and a great host gift for parties. Unoaked has the same rich, peachy, tropical flavors, and a light golden color.
The 2019 Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Monterey County Chardonnay takes excellent advantage of this cool growing region to produce an attractive, stainless steel wine.
TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits pleasing aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, earth, and minerality. Enjoy it with smoked oysters and a citrus-dressed, green salad.
With the alluring color of honeysuckle, this wine features scents of creamy citrus, calling to mind the meringue on top of lemon squares. The freshness of the nose evokes a walk through the vineyard or the minerality of wet granite encountered on a hike. Entry on the palate is round and soft, infused with flavors of apricot, Meyer lemon, and the crispness of the first peaches of the season. Initial broadness on the palate tapers into bright acidity on the finish, a lingering invitation to take another sip.
