Wine Flavor Profile
Pescadero Rock Chardonnay is a medium- to full-bodied white wine with bright tropical fruit, lemon and orange aromas, supported by subtle stone fruit and vanilla notes. Juicy and vibrant, the palate has flavors of pineapple and white peach plus crisp minerality and a lingering, full finish.
Pescadero Rock Chardonnay pays tribute to its beautiful origins along California’s Pacific Coast. It comes from Mendocino County, which lies about two hours north of the prestigious Napa Valley and is “just the place for those who like to venture off the path” (Wine Spectator).
The region has warm, sunny days that ripen grapes to perfection, along with cooling ocean breezes to look in freshness. As a result, the Chardonnay grapes have produced an elegant, balanced white that will impress any white wine fan and pair well with anything from sushi to grilled chicken.
Look forward to bright tropical fruit and citrus aromas, with hints of stone fruit and vanilla. The palate is luscious, yet vibrant, with pineapple and white peach flavors, balanced by a crisp minerality.
This Chardonnay offers incredible value for the quality (especially when compared to the pricey bottles from nearby Napa) and even won a silver medal at the Sunset International Wine Competition.
Mendocino is “just the place for those who like to venture off the path.”
