- WINEMAKER: Joel Burt and Eric Wareheim
- FARMING: Certified Organic, Sustainable Practices
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: Santa Rita Hills, California—a region known for its cool coastal climate, which is ideal for growing Chardonnay. The vineyard sits on well-draining, sandy soils with a strong maritime influence, allowing for slow ripening and retention of acidity.
- VINIFICATION: The grapes undergo native yeast fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels. The wine is gently pressed and undergoes malolactic fermentation to enhance creaminess and texture.
- AGING: Aged for 10 months in a mix of neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel, with minimal batonnage to maintain freshness while imparting subtle complexity.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers greet the nose, followed by a crisp and clean palate. Flavors of ripe citrus, stone fruit, and a touch of hazelnut unfold, with a mineral-driven backbone and a long, refreshing finish. The wine showcases a balance of freshness and subtle richness.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled seafood, or creamy pasta dishes like lobster mac and cheese.
