Located in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation, the Puerta Del Mar vineyard benefits greatly from the cool, maritime climate influenced by the nearby Pacific Ocean. This environment, combined with organic farming practices, produces a Chardonnay with lively acidity and distinct minerality. The 2019 vintage was handpicked at the peak of freshness, focusing on maintaining low sugar levels and high acidity. We whole-bunch-pressed the grapes and transferred the juice directly into neutral French oak barrels. We aged the wine in these barrels for ten months, stirring the lees monthly to enhance texture and complexity while allowing partial malolactic fermentation to slightly soften the acidity. The result is a well-defined and textured wine, with clear notes of citrus and pear, balanced by saline mineral tones. The additional aging process in bottle adds depth and a refined texture, culminating in a clean, lasting finish with hints of lemon zest and a subtle touch of toasted brioche.
