Winemaker Notes:
Tassajara Chardonnay comes from the sustainably certified vineyards of the Scheid Family located in Monterey, CA. The name Tassajara comes from the famed Tassajara Hot Springs, where legend has it in the native Indians would go for renewing spiritual energy. The Scheid Family uses 100% renewable energy in the form of Wind Powered Turbines.
The vineyards benefit from the cool climate and maritime influences from the Monterey Bay, as well as the surrounding mountains which serve to make this a unique micro-climate. Made from 100% estate grown grapes.
Aromas of yellow apples, citrus with hints of melon, notes of vanilla, caramel and butterscotch. Medium-bodied structured, balanced bright fruit with a lingering toasty oak finish.
