Matanzas Creek Chardonnay Alexander Valley 2021 750 ML

With four decades of winemaking heritage, Matanzas Creek's expertise in Sauvignon Blanc dates back to the beginning, when founding winemaker Merry Edwards developed her signature style. The winery has a rich history of industry leadership, including launching the careers of many renowned California winemakers, producing pioneering research on clonal significance, and spearheading the founding of the Bennett Valley AVA. Since its start in 1977, Matanzas Creek has left an indelible mark on the California wine industry. Today, the aromatic expertise of winemaker Marcia Torres Forno, honed over 20 years of experience in Chile, Napa, and Sonoma, shines through in each bottle. Achieving the signature delicacy of Matanzas Creek's Sauvignon Blancs requires strict attention to detail. Timing of the pick in the vineyards is determined by grape hue signaling precursor aromas of the fruit, which are then cultivated in the cellar through careful selection of fermentation vessel types. These exacting winemaking practices also shape Matanzas Creek's elegant Chardonnays and Merlots. Matanzas Creek wines are sourced from the optimal growing sites for each offering. The wines are always crafted to express a profound sense of place, and delicately woven into the portfolio with a common thread of simple elegance
