2023 Florez Wines Star Drops Santa Cruz Mountains, USA
$35.99
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Vineyard: Santa Cruz Mountains
Making of: In this newest Chardonnay cuvee, Florez used only neutral French oak and kept the élevage shorter to preserve brightness.
Personality (winemaker’s note): “A brisk acidity keeps the wine lively and is signature of this mountain grown fruit.” Notes of fresh cut hay, apples and citrus with brioche on the finish. James suggests pairing with seafood and brown butter sage pastas.
