Santa Bárbara Chardonnay 2021

Displaying a luminous straw hue, the Santa Bárbara Chardonnay captivates with its aromatic bouquet of ripe Meyer lemon, white peach, and subtle honeysuckle, underscored by a whisper of flinty minerality. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and creamy texture, showcasing layers of baked apple and toasted almond. The judicious use of oak imparts a delicate vanilla and spice complexity, enhancing the wine's depth without overshadowing its fruit purity. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a lingering citrus zest and a hint of saline, epitomizing the coastal influence of its terroir.
