The 2022 Pali Vineyard Chardonnay is a refined expression of Sta. Rita Hills terroir, crafted from organically farmed estate fruit grown in the cool-climate Gypsy Canyon. A blend of Clone 17 and Robert Young selections, the wine balances freshness, texture, and coastal minerality with precision and elegance.
Hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed, the wine was fermented in a mix of new and neutral French oak before partial malolactic fermentation added richness and depth. Aromas of lemon zest, baked pear, pineapple, and toasted almond lead into a layered palate of passionfruit, lemon curd, vanilla oak spice, and chamomile. Bright acidity and a saline edge carry through to a long, polished finish.
Roasted chicken with lemon and herbs, grilled salmon with a citrus glaze, and creamy pasta carbonara.
