After nearly a decade sourcing fruit from iconic Central Coast vineyards — Fiddlestix, Rancho La Viña, Bien Nacido, Cargasacchi — they planted their own 50-acre estate in the northwesternmost corner of the Sta. Rita Hills in 2012. Aaron Walker has served as winemaker since 2007. The second generation of the Perr family — son Nick and his wife Carmen — has extended the estate's mission through the Neighborhood label, focused on natural, wild-fermented wines. The Chenin Blanc at Pali Vineyard was grafted in 2022 following Pierce's disease losses in the Pinot Noir blocks; the 2023 vintage marks its inaugural release and is believed to be the only Chenin Blanc grown in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aaron Walker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e S.I.P.

Rita Hills AVA, where the Santa Ynez River corridor funnels cold Pacific air and marine fog deep into the valley. Sandy soils — remnants of an ancient seabed — are extremely well-drained and low-fertility, stressing vines toward concentrated, high-acid fruit. The Sta. Rita Hills is best known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of exceptional acidity and cool-climate precision; Chenin Blanc in this environment is an exceptionally rare proposition, expressing what the winery describes as \"oceanic qualities.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVINIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Méthode Champenoise.
