Chanin Wine Co. is devoted to expressing the distinct character of Santa Barbara County’s finest vineyards, with a particular focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — two varieties that transparently reflect place. The Duvarita Vineyard, cooled by Pacific breezes and rooted in complex, marine-based soils, is ideally suited to Pinot Noir, benefiting from a long, even growing season that builds nuance and natural balance. The 2014 vintage in Santa Barbara was warm, dry and notably consistent, producing wines of purity, ripeness and beautifully polished structure. In Chanin’s hands, this translates to a Pinot Noir defined by finesse and quiet complexity rather than weight. Winemaking here is deliberately hands-off: native fermentations, no modern additives, no filtration and no intrusive processing.
