Riverstone Monterey Chardonnay from Lohr Winery has a youthful color of light to medium straw-yellow. Seductive aromas evoke peach, nectarine, marmalade, and honey, complemented by orange and apricot, crème brûlée, and a hint of oak. A deliciously creamy texture and a long finish.
Jerry Lohr grew up on a farm in North Dakota. After his education, he established his own company that traded very successfully in agricultural land. In the late 1960s, Jerry decided to take on a new challenge: he would delve into viticulture. Lohr focused on Monterey and purchased his first vineyards in Arroyo Seco in 1972. This was followed in 1974 by the construction of his own winery in San Jose.
He reached a third milestone in 1988. In that year, Lohr expanded his vineyard area by another 800 hectares in Paso Robles, also in Monterey. In this way, the company can meet its own fruit needs.
J. Lohr is a typical example of a Californian winemaker: with a keen eye for market needs and, at the same time, the ambition to be the best. This means, among other things, that experiments with new techniques are carried out incessantly. A striking example of this is the years of refining the house's top Chardonnay, whose style was transformed from Californian to Burgundian. For another, more ‘basic’ Chardonnay, the search was on for yeast cultures that make the wine extra floral and fruity.
J. Lohr's product range currently consists of various wine series, from accessible entry-level wines for the general public to exclusive single estate wines.
California has a climate with warm summers and fairly mild winters. The Chardonnay The grapes come from vineyards in Arroyo Seco and Monterey County. The soil consists of sandy loam and pebbles. Fermentation takes place in barriques. Afterwards, the wine ages for 7 to 9 months in new and used barriques made of French, Hungarian, and American oak.
Riverstone Monterey Chardonnay from Lohr Winery is a rich, full-bodied yet fresh wine with ripe citrus, apple, nectarine, honey, vanilla, and toast. Delicious to pair with lobster and avocado mousse, mussels, oven-roasted chicken, or braised chicken with lemon, olives, and capers.
