2021 'Pali Vineyard' Chardonnay

2021 Pali Vineyard Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of the Sta. Rita Hills, grown in our organically farmed estate vineyard in cool, windswept Gypsy Canyon. Long, slow ripening preserves natural acidity while building layered flavor and texture. Whole-cluster pressed and aged in a balanced mix of new and neutral French oak, with partial malolactic fermentation, the wine shows clarity and restraint rather than excess. Notes of citrus, stone fruit, and coastal minerality lead to a fresh, polished finish. Focused, expressive, and age-worthy, this Chardonnay captures the precision and coastal lift that define the Sta. Rita Hills.
