While we saw a normal ripening progression of the grapes throughout the summer months, because the Central Coast is vast (spanning from Santa Barbara in the south to San Francisco in the north), the impact of a heat event near Labor Day affected each region differently. In San Benito and Monterey County ripeness increased quickly, spurring us to start harvest just after Labor Day, whereas in the other regions we work, the heat spike was just what we needed to speed up ripening. Harvest drew to a close in late September—one of our earliest finishes ever—yielding wines notable for richness, complexity and vibrant acid.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-06-27T14:02:01-05:00","created_at":"2024-06-27T14:02:01-05:00","vendor":"Sunfish Cellars Wine \u0026 Spirits","type":"Wine","tags":["90pt","Country_United States","Producer_Calera Wine Company","Region_California","Size_750ml","Subregion_Central Coast","Varietal_Chardonnay","Vintage_2022","Wine"],"price":2299,"price_min":2299,"price_max":2299,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":2699,"compare_at_price_min":2699,"compare_at_price_max":2699,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41125145837611,"title":"Central Coast \/ Chardonnay \/ 2022","option1":"Central Coast","option2":"Chardonnay","option3":"2022","sku":"745067961641","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Calera Central Coast Chardonnay 2022 - Central Coast \/ Chardonnay \/ 2022","public_title":"Central Coast \/ Chardonnay \/ 2022","options":["Central Coast","Chardonnay","2022"],"price":2299,"weight":1383,"compare_at_price":2699,"inventory_quantity":18,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"745067961641","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CaleraCentralCoastChardonnay2022.jpg?v=1720017575"],"featured_image":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CaleraCentralCoastChardonnay2022.jpg?v=1720017575","options":["Region","Varietal","Vintage"],"media":[{"alt":"Calera Central Coast Chardonnay 2022","id":25456913252395,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.649,"height":1386,"width":900,"src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CaleraCentralCoastChardonnay2022.jpg?v=1720017575"},"aspect_ratio":0.649,"height":1386,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CaleraCentralCoastChardonnay2022.jpg?v=1720017575","width":900}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eName: \u003c\/b\u003eCalera Central Coast Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry: \u003c\/b\u003eUnited States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion: \u003c\/b\u003eCalifornia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSub-Region:\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCentral Coast\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCalera Wine Company\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2022\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn 1975, legendary vintner and pioneer Josh Jensen founded Calera (Spanish for “lime kiln”) high in the Gavilan Mountains of California’s majestic Central Coast.
