Provenance Vineyards Deadeye Chardonnay Monterey County

Deadeye Chardonnay is a white wine from Monterey County, California, made by Provenance Vineyards. The fruit comes from the San Lucas AVA, a valley in the Santa Lucia Range that opens to the Pacific Ocean and has the largest diurnal temperature variation in California. Morning fog limits direct sun and keeps growing temperatures down, which suits cool-climate varieties such as Chardonnay. The nose is ripe and tropical, with pineapple, baked apple and brioche. The palate is medium-bodied, with layers of peach and Asian pear and a full, generous mouthfeel, leading to a long finish.
