Chardonnay Mills Lake 2020
The 2020 Chardonnay from Mills Lake is a white wine produced in the United States. It is crafted from Chardonnay, recognized as one of the world's most famous green grape varieties. While this grape is cultivated globally and utilized for a multitude of styles, it is particularly prominent in renowned wine regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, Oregon, and California, where this specific wine originates.
California stands as the most important wine-producing state in the USA, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The region spans more than 1,300 kilometers along the Pacific coast, stretching from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south. It encompasses 149 officially recognized American Viticultural Areas distributed across four main regions: the North Coast, Central Coast, Central Valley, and South Coast. The viticultural landscape is highly diverse, featuring a wide array of soils ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate.
The climate in California's winegrowing areas is heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean. Cool ocean winds and morning fog create significant diurnal temperature shifts, which allow for a prolonged ripening period for the grapes in the vineyards. Alongside Chardonnay, the state's vineyards are extensively planted with other major varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Sauvignon Blanc, cementing its status as one of the most diverse and quality-oriented wine regions globally. This 2020 vintage is bottled at 12.5% alcohol by volume.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
California
California is the United States' most important wine-producing state, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The area extends more than 1,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south and contains 149 officially recognised AVAs spread across four main regions: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) and South Coast.
The climate is dominated by cool sea winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which give marked diurnal temperature swings and extended ripening. The soils are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate. The main varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. The style ranges widely from slender, acid-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal AVAs to full-bodied, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from warmer inland regions. The area is known as one of the world's most diverse and quality-focused wine landscapes.
