Hahn Family Wines 'SLH' Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands 2018 750ml
Tight aromas of Meyer lemon rind, dried melon and salted nuts show on the nose of this appellation blend. There's a strong acidic kick to the palate, where hints of warm honeysuckle and tangy lemon are both rich and tart.
Perhaps the most highly regarded appellation within Monterey County, Santa Lucia Highlands AVA benefits from a combination of warm morning sunshine and brisk afternoon breezes, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and fully. The result is concentrated, flavorful wines that retain their natural acidity. Wineries here do not shy away from innovation, and place a high priority on sustainable viticultural practices.
The climatic conditions here are perfectly suited to the production of ripe, rich Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These Burgundian varieties dominate an overwhelming percentage of plantings, though growers have also found success with Syrah, Riesling and Pinot Gris.
