Lohr Vineyards \u0026amp; Wines was founded by Jerry Lohr in 1974, after he spent years searching California for the ideal spot to grow world-class grapes. He planted his first vines near Greenfield in 1972 and 1973, helping establish Monterey's Arroyo Seco appellation as a serious region for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir well before the area had much of a winegrowing reputation. Lohr later expanded into Paso Robles in the 1980s to focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, and the company remains family run today, with his children Steve, Cynthia, and Lawrence continuing to guide the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Riverstone Chardonnay comes from Arroyo Seco's cool, windy vineyards, where sandy loam soils sit over a thick layer of riverstones deposited by the Arroyo Seco River, limiting root depth and helping keep the vines in balance. Cooling breezes off Monterey Bay extend the growing season, preserving natural acidity in the fruit. The wine is barrel fermented and aged with a mix of new American and Hungarian oak, then given extended time on its lees to build texture, all under Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wine offers aromas of ripe citrus, apricot, and baking spices, with a palate of Meyer lemon, peach, and hazelnut leading to a long, lightly oaked finish. It pairs nicely with grilled halibut, chicken piccata, or aged Asiago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J Lohr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46309204361402,"sku":"104822","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/JLohrChardBottle.jpg?v=1786132891","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2024-j-lohr-chardonnay-riverstone-arroyo-seco-monterey-750ml-1","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
