Muirwood – Chardonnay 2023
Arroyo Seco, Monterey – Central Coast, California 🇺🇸

Overview
Made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced from certified sustainable vineyards in Arroyo Seco, Monterey. This sub-region of the Central Coast is known for its cool winds and gravelly soils, providing ideal conditions for crisp, balanced Chardonnay.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, melon) with notes of citrus zest and green apple. Subtle floral lift, with just a faint hint of oak spice in the background.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, crisp, and fruit-driven. No heavy butter or overpowering oak — instead, clean acidity and bright fruit define the palate. Smooth and refreshing finish.

Food Pairings
Great with grilled shrimp, sushi rolls, roast chicken, or summer salads. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with lighter fare.

Verdict
A balanced, refreshing Central Coast Chardonnay — tropical and crisp, sustainable, and delightfully easy to drink. Not a “buttery bomb,” but a modern, clean style that shines with food. 🌿🍍cheers!

Did You Know?
Arroyo Seco (meaning “dry creek”) is one of California’s coolest AVAs, where maritime breezes from Monterey Bay help Chardonnay ripen slowly, preserving acidity and freshness. — 9 months ago

Drank back to back to continue. Pleasant and fruity but earthy. Well balanced. Best of their Pinots and hopefully not just the vintage. — 3 years ago

Not bad but definitely fruity. Opened and was enjoyable. Good for the price. Would get again for that reason but also could skip in favor of something else. — 4 years ago

Josh's birthday, drinking with Vandan, Hanna, and Anna. Slightly chilled. A little sour and very bright red fruit. Likely a lacto. Really delightful — 5 years ago
