J. Lohr Cypress Chardonnay 2022

A bright straw yellow colour with a youthful sheen reveals aromas of white peach, narcissus, orange marmalade and ripe nectarine. The taste is both creamy and refreshing, with attractive acidity that completes the whole.

The refreshing influence of the Pacific Ocean is significant and extends deep into the vineyards. The grapes are harvested at night and pressed directly in the vineyards to preserve their natural freshness. After fermentation in oak barrels, the wine is matured for another 9 months on its yeast cells in these barrels.

Winery J. Lohr:

Jerry Lohr and his team are true wine pioneers in California. For two generations, they have been leaders in the Central Coast. When Jerry settled there in the late 1960s, the area had not yet enjoyed a fraction of its current status as one of North America's premier wine regions. So it was a big gamble for the South Dakota farmer's son to plant a vineyard in such an undeveloped area. But his courageous decision has paid off handsomely over the years. With his courage, vision and agricultural experience, Jerry Lohr has played a major role in the development of the California wine industry. And rightly so, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines has become one of the region's most respected wineries and now encompasses nearly 600 acres of cool-climate vineyards in Monterey planted with Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir. In Paso Robles, Lohr grows Bordeaux and Rhône grapes on another 1,200 acres.
