The Chardonnay Gold Label Monterey County of the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection originates from the vineyards of Monterey, California.

It is mainly produced with Chardonnay grapes and with small additions of Viognier and Riesling grapes, harvested entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels at controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine ages for 9 months in French oak barrels, before being bottled.

This Chardonnay is characterized by a pale golden yellow color. The nose opens with fragrant and intense notes of apple, pear, melon and guava. On the palate it is complex and balanced, with an inviting freshness that accompanies towards a persistent caramel finish.

This Chardonnay is particularly suitable for accompanying fish or mushroom dishes.
