2018 Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation
Winemaker Tasting Notes
"Pale yellow hue. Enchanting scents of fig, kiwi, apple, honey, peach and apricot. With some time, notes of melon, lemon and orange-zest freshen the nose. All of these elements segue into the palate and are met with notes of custard and crème brulee. As this Chardonnay rests in the mouth, the dense, lush, and pleasing character shines brightly. Enjoy this wine with its long and lively finish now through 2026." ~Bill Brosseau, Director of Winemaking
Price: $43.00
Working closely with the top vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands’ appellation, Testarossa has produced yet another distinctive vintage of this highly anticipated Chardonnay. The Highlands is one of the state’s best known regions for world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The area’s close proximity to Monterey Bay makes for a very cool climate, with one of California’s longest growing seasons. The resulting slow, gentle ripening allows for full flavor development on the vine. Testarossa’s production team’s partnership with the best estates in the Santa Lucia Highlands ensure only the highest quality fruit makes it to the winery.
