Why shop with us?
Carmel Road Chardonnay 2021 brings together ripe California fruit and the refreshing lift of Monterey’s cool, maritime climate. The producer’s first vintage appeared in 1999, and Chardonnay has remained one of its signature varieties.
Tasting Notes
The nose offers golden mango, mandarin and pear, layered with white flowers, vanilla and a creamy hint of butter. On the palate, stone fruit and tropical notes are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a long, soft finish. No specific cellar-aging guidance is provided.
Production
Monterey’s coastal influence—cool, foggy nights and mild, sunny days—helps Chardonnay develop ripe fruit while retaining freshness. The wine’s creamy, buttery character is attributed to ageing on the lees; details about harvesting and the wider vinification process are not provided.
Food & Serving
Enjoy chilled alongside fish, shellfish, chicken in a creamy sauce or a selection of cheeses. It also makes an easygoing glass to share on its own.
Producer
Named for the gravel road linking Carmel-by-the-Sea with vineyards farther inland, Carmel Road released its first vintage in 1999. The winery focuses on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, varieties well suited to Monterey’s cool, maritime conditions.
