Rancho Las Hermanas Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay 2021

Vibrant aromatics of crisp green apple tart with hints of lemon meringue. The wine is soft and delicate on the palate with moderate acidity, showcasing notes of ripe pineapple and peach with flavors of key lime and honey graham on the finish.

The 2021 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented and hand-stirred every two weeks through the end of malolactic fermentation. This Bâtonnage technique is used to build mouthfeel and texture in the wine. The lots were aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak barrels.
