La Crema Monterey Chardonnay image

La Crema Monterey Chardonnay

California, USA

Aromatic notes of ripe pineapple, citrus blossom and juicy peach, which follows on the palate alongside flavours of creamy vanilla, lemon curd and toasted oak.

La Crema Monterey Chardonnay is a cool-climate white wine from California’s Central Coast, where coastal fog and ocean breezes help preserve freshness and structure. The wine is barrel-fermented and aged on the lees, giving it a layered texture while retaining vibrant fruit character. It’s a classic California Chardonnay with a focus on balance and approachability.

Aromas of citrus blossom, yellow apple, and subtle vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with flavours of ripe pear, lemon curd, and toasted oak, framed by bright acidity and a smooth, creamy texture.

Contains sulphites.

  • Roast chicken
  • Grilled salmon
  • Creamy pasta dishes
  • Buttery shellfish
  • Mature cheddar

Monterey’s coastal vineyards benefit from strong Pacific winds that slow ripening and preserve natural acidity—ideal conditions for Chardonnay. La Crema selects fruit from cooler subzones to strike a balance between richness and freshness, making this wine both food-friendly and crowd-pleasing.
