It offers the kind of balance that makes the region so compelling: bright fruit, subtle oak influence, and a fresh, vibrant style with real everyday appeal. \n\nThe wine follows in Calera’s tradition of crafting site-driven wines from exceptional coastal vineyards, and this vintage continues that reputation with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a clean, inviting profile with a youthful golden hue. The nose is expressive and fresh, with notes of lemon, watermelon, jasmine, passion fruit, and vanilla. \n\nThe palate moves into green and red apple, pineapple, and grapefruit, layered with a hint of cardamom and framed by discreet oak and lively acidity. It feels bright and charming rather than heavy, with enough structure and balance to enjoy now, while still having the stamina to develop well over the next 4–5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in some of the Central Coast’s cooler, wind-exposed vineyard sites, where the coastal climate helps preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Winemaker Mike Waller aged the wine for 10 months in French oak barrels, with 10% new oak, allowing the fruit to remain at the center while adding subtle texture and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this Chardonnay lightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, with no decanting needed.
