The Hahn SLH Chardonnay is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, located in Monterey County, California. The area benefits from the cooling influences of the nearby Pacific Ocean and daily fogs, which ensures a long ripening period and intense flavor development.

On the nose, the Hahn SLH Chardonnay has rich notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by hints of citrus, vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is full and creamy, with a good balance between the fresh acidity and the rich, buttery texture. The finish is long and elegant, with subtle minerality and a hint of caramel or brioche. The Hahn SLH Chardonnay goes well with dishes such as: Grilled fish (such as salmon or halibut), Creamy pastas, for example with mushrooms or seafood, White meat, such as poultry with a butter sauce and of course with mature cheeses, such as brie or camembert

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Hahn S.L.H. Chardonnay toont rijp tropisch fruit zoals ananas en mango, frisse citrus- en limoenaccenten, subtiele vanille en geroosterde eik en een romige, boterachtige textuur met elegante mineraliteit. Daardoor vult de wijn vettere visgerechten en romige pasta's aan door de frisse zuren te contrasteren met de rijke sauzen, terwijl gevogelte in een botersaus of gegrilde zalm de boterachtige tonen en vanille-eik benadrukt en rijpe kazen zoals brie de zachte, romige afdronk versterken. Bereidingen die extra goed werken zijn gegrilde of lichtgevette vis met citroen, kip of kalkoen in een romige botersaus met paddenstoelen en pasta Alfredo of pasta met zeevruchten.

Hahn winery is located in Monterey County, one of the 58 counties in California. The area is breathtakingly beautiful and has an ideal climate and excellent conditions for growing wine. Hahn winery cultivates, in a sustainable manner, approximately 650 hectares of vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, as well as another 461 hectares in nearby Arroyo Seco AVA. The vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands consist of 4 farmlands located on a high, hilly area, overlooking the Salinas valley. The precisely planted vines are guaranteed abundant morning sun. The Pinot Noirs of this winery owe their intensity and complexity to the beautiful soil structure and good drainage. The wind is also an important factor. As the Salinas Valley warms up during the day, the air rises and is replaced by the cool air from the lower and cooler Monterey Bay, creating a wind tunnel, as it were.

As early as 1790, Spanish missionaries discovered the rare soils and favorable climate of the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey and planted vines there. Some 200 years later, when founder Nicolaus (Nicky) Hahn and his wife Gaby bought estates in the Highlands, cattle, sheep and horses roamed the hills. Vineyards were only a secondary concern.

After discovering that the land he had bought was ideal for viticulture, Nicky acted quickly, releasing the first Hahn wine from the Santa Lucia Highlands (SLH) in 1980. After hard work, Nicky's dream of designating SLH as an official American wine-growing region came true in 1991.

Currently, Hahn Family Wines is managed by Philip, the son of Nicky and Gaby. Santa Lucia Highlands is famous worldwide for the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that are made there.

The wines from winery Hahn are all real quality wines made from the finest, hand-picked fruit.
