The vines for the J. Lohr Estates Riverstone Chardonnay are on primarily Elder loam soils underlain by “riverstones” deposited over thousands of years by the Arroyo Seco River. The unique combination of sandy loam and cobblestone-laden soils keep the vines’ canopy growth and fruit in balance while the cooling winds off nearby Monterey Bay extend the growing season. The result is Chardonnay with intense varietal character complemented by bright, food-pairing acidity.

Ripe aromas of candied orange peel, blossom and delicate toasty notes

Full-bodied, bright fruit start, integrated toasty oak with a vibrant a refreshing acidity to liven the palate. Juicy clementine and peach middle palate, vanilla spice and a creamy finish. Excellent value from the central coast of California.
