Divum Chardonnay
2019
Monterey, California
13.9% ABV
Regular Price: $20

Today, I am excited to introduce you to an unbelievable value in California Chardonnay: Tom and Rob Franscioni's 2019 Divum from the Monterey AVA.

California Chardonnay is one of the most recognizable and popular wine styles in the world: glorious fruit concentration, lively acidity and just the right influence of oak that lends a creamy richness. While some producers have taken this style to the extreme, others are adept at striking the perfect balance of intensity and refreshment. Unfortunately, such wines often come with a prohibitive price tag for everyday drinking.  

Yet, this is where the Divum Chardonnay comes to the rescue: The wine delivers off the charts quality at an amazing price. What's even more impressive is that Divum is crafted from 100% estate fruit from a single vineyard: To find a wine with such balance at a price like this from estate fruit in California is unheard of! This may be the most amazing Cali Chardonnay value on the market. For those of you who love the decadence, balance and refreshment of great California Chardonnay without the excess, Divum is a breath of fresh air. Stock up today while supplies last!

 
Open Air
Brothers Tom and Rob Franscioni are the fourth generation of their family to farm their 727-acre estate in Monterery, California. They learned grape farming from their father, Dan, who not only taught them the ins and outs of their vineyards, but also impressed on them the family's unofficial motto, "work hard, play hard." Tom and Rob named their estate label Divum, which means "open air" in Latin, to honor their late father and his love of the outdoors. The estate consists of two vineyards, Danny's and Garva, that are planted primarily to Chardonnay and Pinot. Both sites are certified sustainable under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. The vines benefit from the cooling influence of the Monterery Canyon, which creates a large diurnal temperature difference and a long hang time for the fruit. The soils consist of decomposed granite over heavy clay loam.
 
Divum 
The Divum Chardonnay is from the estate's Grava Vineyard, located at the foot of the Gabilan Mountain Range in the northern end of the Monterey AVA. The wine undergoes full malolactic conversion and is aged for 9 months in French oak barrels, 15% of which are new. In the glass, the Divum Chardonnay shows a brilliant light gold color with lemon highlights. Aromas of fresh mango, pineapple and baked apple plume from the glass, complemented by lovely undertones of baking spice, vanilla and cream. On the palate, the wine is full bodied with gorgeous fruit intensity that is supported by flavors from French oak; the lively acidity is perfectly balanced with an appealing creamy texture from the malolactic fermentation and time in barrel; the finish dances along a taut mineral spine that drives the wine's energy, adding complexity and depth. Overall, the Divum Chardonnay does an exceptional job balancing fruit, oak and minerality, delivering a bright and intricate Chardonnay. And at a price like this, it is arguably the best value California Chard you can find!
