Mer Soleil 2023 Reserve Chardonnay
93 Wine Enthusiast

This is terrific Chardonnay that’s also an outstanding value. This shows the traits of superb cool climate Chardonnay. There’s plenty of minerality and citrusy acidity but there’s also loads of rich, ripe fruit and terrific texture.

“A steely edge of minerality opens the aromas of this wine and is followed by a mix of fresh apples and pear with lemon and fresh herbs. The palate is textured and sits with a bit more oomph than your “normal” Pinot Grigio, highlighted by beautifully balanced orchard fruit and fresh flowers, finishing with a sea salt brininess.” — Wine Enthusiast

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its exotic character – this wine is as dramatic as the place where it is sourced. With morning fog, bright sunshine and gusting winds, the Santa Lucia Highlands have an extended growing season. Grapes stay on the vine longer, leading to the development of intense aromas such as custard and toasted almonds, rich fruit flavours and enlivening lemon/lime.
