Profile & Story
Monte Xanic, founded in 1988 in the Valle de Guadalupe, is regarded as Mexico's first modern boutique winery. The Calixa line is its youthful, approachable tier, made from estate-grown fruit fermented entirely in stainless steel with no oak influence, emphasizing purity of fruit and the vineyard's naturally vibrant acidity.
Tasting Notes
Fresh and fruit-forward, this unoaked Chardonnay favors bright tropical and orchard fruit over a lively, mineral-tinged frame. Restaurant's Notes: Ripe pear, golden apple, pineapple, Meyer lemon, white blossom; medium body with lively acidity, a creamy mid-palate from lees contact, and a light touch of vanilla/toast over a saline, mineral-tinged finish.
Pairing Recommendation
A versatile match for grilled seafood, creamy pastas, or fresh queso dishes.
