A beautiful, vibrant wine results. - Vibrant and lively. Luli Chardonnay is sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, a cool-climate appellation that ensures bright acidity. The vinification captures this energy. The fruit is fermented in both neutral barrels (older cooperage that no longer imparts wood flavor) and tanks. While the barrels provide texture and lees contact, the tanks provide vibrancy and freshness.
- Fresh and fragrant, the aromas waft from the glass sharing their crisp yet creamy aromatics of sliced pineapple and pear with a squeeze of Meyer lemon.

Ripe Anjou pear, lychee nut and traces of white floral mingle with hints of smoky oak, adding interest and depth to the wine. Beautifully balanced with bright fruit and silky smooth mouthfeel, this easy-to-sip Chardonnay will be tough to put down. Pair it with fresh-caught halibut served in a lemon and Chardonnay reduction, or a Caesar salad with chicken or shrimp.
- The lush, round entry on the palate leading to a well structured, full mouthfeel, ending with a long pleasing finish.

The flavors follow the aromas with added nuances of red currants and oak nicely integrated with the vinous fruit and a moderately lingering finish augmented by a touch of chili pepper

- Dark, intense aromas of plum and mixed berry mingle with traces of sassafras, smoky oak, earth and dried rose petals.
