Description

Winemaker Greg Brewer approaches his craft, not by what he adds to the final product but by what he subtracts, allowing the land to speak for itself through the wine. He fermented this Chardonnay at very low temperature in stainless steel tanks to ensure a pleasing balance across acidity, texture and body. Pure, precise aromas of lemon and citrus blossom greet white peach and a touch of salinity on the palate, making this a perfect bottle to pair with spicy or coastal cuisine.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Based on 100% Chardonnay and aged six months in stainless steel vats, the 2024 Chardonnay has a medium to light gold hue and offers exotic citrus, minty herbs, and subtle tropical flower notes that all define this clean, crisp, remarkably pure Chardonnay. It puts on weight and richness with time in the glass and is a terrific mix of both richness and freshness. This is a no-brainer purchase for those who love Santa Barbara County Chardonnay, and I love its purity. Drink 2025- 2030.
