Mer Soleil Chardonnay Silver Unoaked Monterey County 2022 originates from the renowned Monterey County, known for its cool coastal climate that allows Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their vibrant acidity. The wine is aged in stainless steel and unlined concrete tanks, promoting freshness and enhancing its mineral character. This method of aging, without oak exposure, helps retain the wine's pure expression of fruit and terroir.
