Merchant's description

The 2021 Racines Sta Rita Hills Cuvée Chardonnay presents a clear and precise interpretation of the Chardonnay variety from the esteemed Sta Rita Hills AVA. The wine reveals notes of citrus, white flower and subtle minerality, with an underpinning of saline character that highlights the region`s terroir. This cuvée is crafted from a selection of vineyards within Sta Rita Hills, including the estate`s Wenzlau Family Vineyard and La Rinconada Vineyard. Racines is a collaboration involving Burgundian producer Étienne de Montille and Champagne’s Rodolphe Péters, alongside Justin Willett, focused on expressing the purity of California’s cool-climate Chardonnay.
