Named for the golden hills of the Santa Lucia Mountain Range that frames the family-owned San Bernabe Vineyard in Monterey, Diora is inspired from ?d?Or,? the French phrase meaning ?golden? and bestowed on beautiful, sun-filled regions. No effort has been spared along Diora?s 30-year journey from vineyard-to-bottle. The result is an expressive Chardonnay overflowing with flavor, depth and personality and a devotion to indulgence.

"This Chardonnay has a beautiful, golden hue with aromas of apples that mingle with toasted oak and hints of peach cobbler, coconut and pineapple. The delicate flavours of cr?me br?l?e and vanilla bean give way to lovely notes of key lime, white peach and butterscotch in a medium-bodied mouthfeel."
- James Ewart, Winemaker

"Excellently presented aromas of butter, nectarine, warm almond and white flower are delicate but expressive on the nose of this bottling. An immediate acidity races through the palate, lifting the toasty and buttery elements while pairing smartly against the ripe citrus and white flower elements." - Wine Enthusiast

"Gorgeously ripe and opulent, the wine shows grilled peach, mango, vanillin oak, butterscotch and popcorn aromas on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate offering fabulous fruit power together with seductive oak infusion, finishing long and lavish."
