Hess Select Chardonnay Monterey 750ml
Hess Select Chardonnay comes from Hess Persson Estates, formerly The Hess Collection Winery, sourced from trusted grower families across Monterey County. Monterey's moderate climate and cooling marine influence from the Pacific Ocean keep the grapes balanced, allowing them to develop fully ripe flavors while retaining natural acidity. A thoughtful blend of roughly 70 percent stainless steel and 30 percent French oak fermentation keeps the wine fresh and bright while adding a touch of richness.
Bottled at 13.5% ABV, the nose brings tropical aromas of grilled pineapple, star fruit, and vanilla, sometimes layered with lemon and lime zest. The palate is medium-bodied with layers of sliced peach and golden apple, finishing crisp, clean, and well-balanced with a subtle touch of creme brulee.
A reliable, crowd-pleasing California Chardonnay, Hess Select pairs beautifully with grilled albacore tuna, creamy mushroom pasta, and Asian chicken salad, making it a dependable everyday white for both casual dinners and entertaining.
