Seaglass Chardonnay | Central Coast, USA
“The ocean gives us so much of what you taste in the glass. My job is to translate that coastal character in each wine we make.” Seaglass viticulturist Matt Frank
Seaglass takes its name from the shards of glass that over decades are polished into beautiful gems by the natural ebb and flow of wind, sea and fog. It leads to searching for delightful discoveries of a shimmering, one-of-a-kind jewel – be it in the sand or from the winery.
Their wines encapsulate the ocean air, the sandy coastline and the fresh acidity of cool-climate fruit along the Central Coast. Crafted from wind-swept vines that give nuanced flavours in the cellar and complex notes in the glass, the wines are an unmistakable expression of California’s coastal vineyards.
To preserve the vibrant coastal character of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Chenin grapes, the wine is crafted without any oak influence. Vinification in stainless steel tanks, without malolactic fermentation, allows the pure flavour of the fruit to shine through – capturing the cool-climate terroir of Central Coast at its best
