Winemaker Notes
Our 352 acre Shirtail Creek estate vineyard takes advantage of Monterey’s cooling fog and Pacific coastal breezes, drawn across the Gabilan Mountains into the Salinas Valley, creating an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay. The moderate temperatures lengthen the growing season, allowing the fruit to evolve with layers of distinct Central Coast flavors. Our Chardonnay is fermented and aged in stainless tanks without any oak or malolactic influence. Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay is a hallmark representation of a coastally-influenced wine. We age this Chardonnay sur lie for approximately 6 months.
A touch tropical, our Chardonnay is crisp and clean, bright with balanced acidity, that lets the signature lemon-lime and a touch of apple flavors of Monterey shine through.
