Joel Gott Unoaked Chardonnay 2022

Joel Gott Unoaked California Chardonnay has aromas of ripe pear, Fuji apple, pineapple, and melon with citrus notes. On the palate, the wine opens with bright fruit flavors and acidity, followed by a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and crisp minerality on the finish

Fruit from vineyards in Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands, located within the larger marine-influenced Monterey County AVA, experience a cooler, extended growing season offering bright fruit flavors and well-balanced acidity. Within Santa Barbara, mineral rich soils in the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley AVAs, along with warmer days and cooler nights, offer ideal growing conditions for rich, fruit forward flavors. Blending fruit from these varied growing regions created a balanced, food-friendly wine.

After harvest, fruit from each vineyard is whole cluster pressed to retain delicate fruit flavors before being fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright acidity and fruit flavors.
