Automoto Chardonnay

2006 The roomy interior of this classic cruiser is redolent of baked apples, vanilla, coconut and bread toast. Round and creamy on the medium-bodied chassis, its rich, lively, apple and lime flavors are turbo-charged by bright acidity. Enjoy this cherry Chardonnay with your favorite drive-in, take-out or eat-in dishes, especially seafood, poultry and grilled veggies.

Additional Information

AutoMoto wines roll off the vine from state-of-the-art plants in California’s acclaimed North and Central Coast American Viticultural Areas. Winemaker Melissa Bates fine-tunes traditional Old World assembly techniques with cutting-edge New World technology to design and engineer four stunning models: a plushly upholstered Cabernet Sauvignon; smooth-cruisin’ Merlot; sleek, stylish Chardonnay; and racy, sporty Riesling.

The parts for the 2006 AutoMoto Chardonnay came from plants in the Central Coast (Monterey, San Benito and Santa Barbara counties), North Coast (Mendocino and Lake counties) and Sacramento Delta (Clarksburg) regions of California. These cool-climate grape manufacturing centers provided the raw materials with which AutoMoto driver and chief mechanic Melissa Bates crafted this sleek, stylish Chardonnay.

Fermentation of this juicy model was primarily in stainless steel tanks, while other components were assembled in barrel, went through malolactic fermentation and mingled with their yeast lees, all fueling this Chardonnay’s rich, creamy flavors.
