Crafted by winemakers best known for their artistry with mountain vineyards in Napa Valley, Hess Select wines are sourced from our family-owned estate vineyards and from grower families who share our sustainable farming philosophy. Monterey’s cooling fog and Pacific coastal breezes, drawn across the Gabilan Mountains into the Salinas Valley, create an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay, yielding wines with tantalizing tropical notes and crisp acidity. Moderate temperatures lengthen the growing season, allowing fruit to evolve with layers of distinct Central Coast flavors. This wine comes from a 352-acre Shirtail Creek estate vineyard in Monterey.
Tasting Notes: Monterey’s combination of moderate climate and marine influences from the Pacific Ocean keep the grapes on an even keel, able to develop fully ripe flavors that tend to show some lemon and lime zest, a touch of ripe apple and tropical aromas and
flavors.We call it crisp and clean, with well balanced acids.
Pairing Ideas: This wine’s natural acidity complements tangy, spicy foods and shows well with the richness of creamier dishes. Enjoy with Asian chicken salad, grilled albacore tuna with melted anchovy butter and lemon, or a creamy pasta dish with Portobello mushrooms.
