Joyce Vineyards Chardonnay Submarine Canyon 2021
$26.99
Joyce Vineyards Chardonnay Submarine Canyon Arroyo Seco
Joyce Vineyards Chardonnay was inspired by Monterey Bay’s Submarine Canyon. Measuring over one mile deep, it claims the deepest point along the West Coast. Strong maritime influences and ancient glacial soils consisting of sand, gravel and shale loam combine to create the terroir for these Chardonnay vines.
Fruit-forward and textural, this vintage is full of flavor and more pronounced than previous bottlings. Well-incorporated medium acidity aids in the pronunciation of the varied yellow fruit character, and leans into subtle hints of bananas foster and Mexican caramel. A favorite for everyday drinking, this vintage packs a major punch for the price.

Joyce Vineyards Chardonnay Submarine Canyon Arroyo Seco 2021
PLACE
This flagship Chardonnay is a pure representation of the coastal terroir in Monterey County. The name “Submarine Canyon” is a reference to the deep underwater canyon located in the Monterey Bay. This deep sea canyon provides the ideal marine climate for growing premium Chardonnay grapes.
The fruit was harvested from vineyards adjacent to our estate winery in the Arroyo Seco AVA. This AVA is recognized as having the longest growing season in California. Strong daily winds that bring cool fog from the Monterey Bay force the grapes to spend more time on the vine building flavor and complexity. Extremely rocky well-drained alluvial soils are the base for creating wines processing freshness & minerality.

Reviews
Wine Enthusiast – “Clean aromas of apple, ripe melon and almost-sweet cucumber converge on the nose of this wine. The palate shows immediate acidity and holds firm with a long-lasting texture, framing white flower, Asian pear and citrus pith flavors.” (92 Pts)
