Expert Review
The 2023 Shunyi Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay offers a vibrant and elegant expression of the region, opening with aromas of tropical fruit, orange blossom, cream, and honey, followed by a medium-full palate layered with citrus zest, wet stone, and lychee; its creamy texture and subtle toffee notes are balanced by refreshing acidity, showcasing the Highlands’ hallmark combination of abundant sunshine and cooling Monterey Bay winds that preserve freshness while deepening flavor complexity.
About Winery
According to legend, Shun (舜) was one of the greatest emperors of ancient China. Before Shun became an emperor, he was a farmer growing rice in George Zhang’s hometown Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province. Today, the Chinese people remember and celebrate Shun as a role model for humility, kindness, and integrity. Yi (裔) translates to “descendant.” The residents of Jinan, including George Zhang, are proud to be called descendants of Shun or ShunYi (舜裔).
