The vineyards along Coastal California are a perfect combination of earth and elements, chosen specifically to contribute to each Meiomi wine and to represent the best of their appellation. Diverse microclimates make Sonoma unparalleled among the world’s premium winegrowing regions. Rocky soils, resulting from ancient volcanic activity, stress the vines, resulting in smaller berries of intense flavor. Warm temperatures draw cooler ocean air and fog inland from Monterey Bay, keeping the grapes cool during the heat of the day, resulting in long, even ripening of the fruit. The mountain valleys of the Santa Barbara region are ideally oriented to channel sea breezes and fog inland from the Pacific, allowing the grapes to fully develop flavors, acids, and tannins across their extended “hang time.”

California Wines

California wine production has a rich viticulture history since 1680 when Spanish Jesuit missionaries planted Vitis vinifera vines native to the Mediterranean region in their established missions to produce wine for religious services. In the 1770s, Spanish missionaries continued the practice under the direction of the Father Junípero Serra planted California’s first vineyard at Mission San Juan Capistrano.

The state produces about ninety percent of the American wine supply and is the fourth largest wine producer among the world’s independent nations. It has more than 1,200 wineries ranging from home-grown and small boutiques to large corporations with international distribution.

Meiomi Chardonnay White Wine is an elegant chardonnay wine with smooth layers of pineapple, ripe stone fruit, and lemon peel. Highlighted by scents of honey, almonds, and baking spices with subtle custard notes, this California white wine is made with carefully blended Chardonnay grapes from Monterey, Sonoma, and Santa Barbara, providing balance, complexity, and richness in every bottle. Fermented in stainless steel tanks with minimal intervention, this white grape wine ages in French oak barrels for further depth and roundness. This process gives each glass of wine a velvety mouthfeel with succulent acidity and a mineral-driven finish. Enjoy this California Chardonnay wine with soft-ripened goat cheese, crumbly cheddar, or fresh mascarpone. This alcoholic drink also pairs well with roasted chicken, fresh crab, oysters, citrus shrimp, or creamy pasta.
