Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its exotic character – this wine is as dramatic as the place where it is sourced. With morning fog, bright sunshine and gusting winds, Monterey county has an extended growing season. Grapes stay on the vine longer, leading to the development of intense aromas such as custard and toasted almonds, rich fruit flavors and enlivening lemon/lime.
This wine is a result of the perfect blend of the region's natural elements and the expertise of its winemakers. The Santa Lucia Highlands, located just 40 minutes south of Monterey, California, is known for its unique weather conditions that create an extended growing season. This allows the grapes to develop rich aromas of custard and toasted almonds, while maintaining its bright fruit flavors and refreshing acidity.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Mer Soleil Santa Lucia Highlands Reserve Chardonnay 2022 is the perfect wine for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying a summer evening on the patio or pairing it with a decadent seafood dinner, this wine is sure to impress. So, pour yourself a glass, close your eyes, and let the sea and sun transport you to the beautiful Santa Lucia Highlands.
