From Monterey County, California, Noble Vines Collection 446 2018 Chardonnay is a cool-climate Chardonnay from one of the coolest wine grape growing regions in California. Noble Vines 446 is named for the vine stock 4, planted in the winery's block 46 vineyard and other sites in San Bernabe. Well-priced under $20, this is a buttery California Chard with tropical fruit, pineapple, yellow apple, lime-lemon zest and buttered pastry flavours with vibrant acidity on the palate. Pair with roast chicken or a sautéed pork tenderloin. This vintage was awarded Silver at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, seafood Alfredo, pork tenderloin with peach, apricot compote.
