Matthew Fritz, Chardonnay, Monterey County, California 2021

About the Wine

The wine is lively and fresh with aromas of apple blossom, fresh citrus and peaches. The palate is textured with ripe peaches, pineapple and faint hints of vanilla.

Vintage

2021 was a dry and cooler vintage in Monterey County. This lead to smaller high quality fruit clusters packed with concentrated flavors.

Vineyard

Our Chardonnay grapes are sourced from some of the finest vineyards within Monterey County.
