This single vineyard Chardonnay is sourced solely from the Wenzlau Vineyard, one of our estate holdings. We farm the vineyard ourselves using organic practices. Wenzlau Vineyard sits surrounded by Rita’s Crown, Mt. Carmel, and Sea Smoke Vineyards, on a steep, dramatic hillside just above the Santa Ynez River and across from the famed Sanford & Benedict Vineyard.
The 2021 Chardonnay Wenzlau Family Vineyard is gracious, elegant and wonderfully lifted. Crushed rocks, flowers, citrus, mint and white pepper all grace this exquisite wine. Readers will find a taut Chardonnay that emphasizes mineral and saline intensity. It's a terrific wine from one of the most evocative sectors in the Sta. Rita Hills.
