Scar of the Sea - Chardonnay Vino De Los Ranchos Santa Maria Valley 2023

The 2023 vintage of the Vino de los Ranchos Chardonnay comes from organically farmed vines planted in 2006 at the Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley.  The grapes were picked for natural acidity, whole bunch pressed and then fermented with native yeast in neutral french oak barrels.

The wine aged on lees for 19 months before its first racking to bottle, without fining or filtration, and with minimal sulfur used. 

Think citrus flowers, orange meringue, salted almonds with bright acidity.
