MER SOLEIL

Mer Soleil wines were developed by fourth-generation winemaker Charlie Wagner II. He produces three wines: Mer Soleil Chardonnay, with the generous, sun-ripened flavors of California; Silver, an unoaked Chardonnay that unites the crisp mineral essence of classic Chablis style with the tropical elements found in Chardonnay of the Pacific coastline; and LATE, a viognier dessert wine.
The Mer Soleil Vineyard, in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County, is nestled on east-facing lower slopes of the Sierra de Salinas range in what is one of the coolest, driest grape-growing areas in California.
