Fragrant and ethereal, the Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay has aromas of grapefruit, peach and subtle spice. The palate is chiselled with nervy acidity and mineral-laced fruit, tempered by a long and textured finish.

“A wonderfully complex wine with ample texture. The Sta Rita Hills Cuvée is sourced from some of Santa Barbara's top Chardonnay sites. The wine sees very little new oak and, as a result, shines forth with delicate brilliance—classically cool climate Chardonnay aromatics of soft white florals, crushed chalk and a touch of mint. The palate has verve and energy with savoury petrichor-driven minerality coming to the fore, followed on by bruised apples, a touch of cardamom and honey to finish adding depth and complexity along the way. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2030” – Clive Pursehouse
'Sta Rita Hills Cuvee' Pinot Noir
Grape
100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes
'The 2019 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is an attractive, ethereal wine. Sweet dried cherry, mint, tobacco and sage are some of the aromas and flavors that open in the glass. I would give this a few years in bottle to soften. This is an especially savory style of Pinot with plenty of aromatic presence, and the fruit pushed into the background. The Sta. Rita Hills cuvée is a blend of fruit from Domaine de la Côte and La Encantada.'
