Calera Chardonnay 2022, from California’s Central Coast, is a 100% Chardonnay sourced from limestone-rich soils of Mount Harlan. The nose unveils a vibrant bouquet of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, interwoven with wet stone, brioche, and a subtle minerality. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with crisp acidity and a mineral-driven core, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of almond. Aged for 14 months in French oak (30% new), it offers a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with grilled seafood, roasted poultry, or soft cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects Calera’s artisanal precision and commitment to terroir. The 2022 vintage, known for its balance and intensity, produced a wine of remarkable finesse, offering a sophisticated Central Coast white for enthusiasts seeking elegance and minerality. Its harmonious flavor profile and structured elegance make it a standout choice for collectors.
