Description

Bright. Crisp. Exotic., Extended time on the vine creates an unrestrained flavor profile of bright rich flavors. Winery Notes. 

“Our original name, La Crema Vinera, means ‘best of the vine,’ setting the standard for all we do since 1979. Our family-owned and operated winery focuses exclusively on cool-climate appellations, passionate in our belief that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines.” Jennifer Walsh, Winemaker

“Fruit is sourced from all over the Monterey appellation. With different vineyards bringing different flavors to the mix, including notes of green apple, lemon, peach, and pineapple. Soils are predominantly free draining loams. When picked, the fruit is gently pressed, followed by settling for 24 hours then racked to barrel for fermentation. Wine is matured in barrel for 4-5 months.” Jennifer Walsh, Winemaker

“Lemon glaze and wax aromas converge on the nose of this bottling. The palate is straightforward and cleanly presented in flavors of lemon flesh, apple and lime zest.” Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast
