Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

Overview

Our 2020 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay has a light gold color in the glass and a bouquet of verbena, lemon peel, melon, and the sea breeze that suggest a refreshing, enjoyable wine. On the palate, bright, mouthwatering acid is highlighted by notes of salinity and continues through to an inviting, smooth finish. Minerally flavors of wet stone and ocean gravel blend well with mouthwatering bright citrus flavors. This wine pairs well with light seafood, such as ceviche, fish tacos, grilled lobster, clams, mussels, and some delicious salty feta.
