Wine maker notes |
Arroyo Seco literally translates to ?Dry Riverbed,? but this small appellation in the center of Monterey County?s Salinas Valley is an oasis of viticulture. Famous for growing Chardonnay grapes full of tropical fruit and refreshing acidity, Arroyo Seco?s mix of gravelly and sandy loam soils develops complexity. The warm midday sun reflects off large river stones, absorbing heat during the day and radiating that heat in the evening, preventing the vines from freezing during frigid nights. Afternoons bring cool winds from Monterey Bay, refreshing the vines, intensifying the fruit flavors and allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. |
Technical notes |
Stainless steel fermentation; 6 months barrel aging in 100% American oak. |
Food pairing |
Herb-crusted halibut with minted sweet pea puree, or a spread of mild, semi-soft goat and cow?s milk cheeses. |
