Appellation Central Coast - AVA

The Central Coast AVA is one of California's most dynamic wine regions, located between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. This vast area spans approximately 90,000 hectares, offering an impressive diversity of microclimates and terroirs. The vineyards of the Central Coast benefit significantly from maritime influence, with cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean and varied soils ranging from sandy gravel to clay.

The main grape varieties grown in this region are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Central Coast Chardonnay is renowned for its rich and fruity flavours, often accompanied by hints of vanilla and spice. The Pinot Noir offers delicate aromas of cherry and raspberry, while the Syrah and Zinfandel bring more robust and spicy profiles.

For optimising wine cellar management, understanding the characteristics of Central Coast wines is essential to better organise and enhance your collection. Add a touch of California to your cellar with wines from the Central Coast and enjoy their diversity and exceptional quality. Wine enthusiasts and cellar managers will find this region a treasure trove for enriching their selections.
