MER SOLEIL CHARDONNAY RESERVE SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS 2023

Mer Soleil harnesses the dramatic Santa Lucia Highlands terroir where morning fog, bright sunshine, and gusting afternoon winds create an extended growing season that develops the region's signature tropical aromas and vibrant acidity in Chardonnay grapes. Led by Owner and Winemaker Charlie Wagner since the late 1980s, this reserve bottling showcases the appellation's exotic character through lush fruit flavors balanced by the natural tension between coastal cooling and intense California sun. The resulting wine displays the distinctive tropical notes and mouth-watering acidity that define this exceptional microclimate just thirty minutes from Monterey, delivering a Chardonnay that truly celebrates the remarkable landscape of California's central coast.
