2022 | Caraccioli Cellars "Private Property" Chardonnay | Santa Lucia Highlands | USA

A Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay — cool-climate California white with richness and cut.

This Chardonnay comes from the Santa Lucia Highlands, the acclaimed cool-climate AVA on the terraced western slopes above the Salinas Valley. Swept by afternoon winds off Monterey Bay, its Chardonnays combine ripe orchard fruit with bright, saline acidity — a signature California balance of richness and cut.

A Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay is one of California's smartest cool-climate whites. Wind-swept SLH slopes, cool climate → ripe fruit with bright acidity → you're drinking serious California Chardonnay.

A Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. Exactly the bottle for roast chicken, shellfish, or a fine white with dinner.
