Lockwood Vineyard Un-oaked Chardonnay 2014, Monterey

Tasting Note

Pale lemon yellow in colour, with bright citrus and green apple aromas and flavours are complemented by a touch of crisp spice. The bright fruit with its clean acidity and minerality, leads to a refreshing, long finish.

Producer Note

First released in 1989, Lockwood Vineyard was developed under the belief that world class estate produced wines are attainable through ideal vineyard location and quality winemaking. Lockwood Vineyard's founders, Paul Toeppen, Phil Johnson and Butch Lindley, who have cumulative vineyard management experience of over 90 years, first planted the large 1,850 acre San Lucas Vineyard in 1981 after concluding that the parcel was perfect for growing premium grapes. The vineyard is in a remote area nestled at the base of the Santa Lucia mountain range, in Monterey County, and is one of the largest premium estate vineyards in the world. Under the new ownership of Boisset Family Estates, Lockwood Vineyard continues to be devoted to producing high quality estate grown wines.

Winemaking

The grapes were fermented in 100% stainless steel in order to obtain a fresh and fruit-driven style, the wine was also matured in stainless steel to maintain this purity of fruit.

Serving Suggestion
