The Metallico Chardonnay opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and pear accented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Crisp acidity gives the wine a lively, refreshing character. Without oak influence, the fruit remains clean and precise. The finish is dry, vibrant, and lightly mineral.

The Estate

Morgan Winery was founded in 1982 and is widely respected for its sustainably farmed wines from Monterey County. The “Metallico” Chardonnay is one of the winery’s signature bottlings, crafted in a crisp, unoaked style that highlights the natural freshness of coastal California fruit. It reflects the cooling influence of Monterey Bay, which helps preserve acidity and aromatics.

Wine Making

Chardonnay grapes are harvested from sustainably farmed vineyards across Monterey County. Fermentation occurs entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and varietal purity. Malolactic fermentation is typically avoided or limited to maintain bright acidity. The resulting wine emphasizes crisp structure and pure fruit expression.

Food Suggestions

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, and shrimp dishes. It also complements salads, sushi, and light poultry preparations. A versatile by-the-glass option for seafood-focused menus and warm-weather dining.
