Well balanced with good body and a medium-long finish. Ideal with: fennel salad, baked oysters, grilled octopus.

Aaron Ventana’s founder, Doug Meador, a former Navy jet pilot and University of Washington econometrics graduate, planned a career in Washington State where his family owned apple orchards, when he became fascinated with the challenges of cold climate viticulture – and decided to remain in Monterey. He subsequently purchased the finest area of a large planting naming it Ventana Vineyards (Spanish for window) because to him it symbolizes the “window to the future” in viticulture. For over thirty years it has essentially been a research vineyard – the result of Doug Meador’s single-minded dedication to earn Monterey County a respected place on the California wine map. 100% Chardonnay.

Aaron For three generations, this family estate has been almost entirely located at the bottom of the Solutré Rock, on a limestone and mineral soil. The vineyard is located on the reputed 'climats of Pouilly Fuissé: Servy, La Croix Bonnet, Les Quarts, Les Crays, Pommard and Lamure. The domain’s motto is 'non interventionism': cold must settling and no filtration, a finished alcoholic fermentation without residual sugar, natural malolactic fermentation to get more delicate aromas. Part of the production is matured and aged in wood barrels without any stirring of the lees to keep the freshness and the minerality of this appellation. Precise analysis and regular tastings guarantee the finesse of the aromas. 100% Chardonnay.
