Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay, Racines

Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay

Description

Racines is a new project between talented young Santa Barbara winemaker, Justin Willet, Étienne de Montille of Domaine de Montille in Burgundy and Rodolphe Péters of Pierre Péters in Champagne. This wine comes from blending fruit from various sites across the Santa Rita Hills, with the majority of the fruit coming from the Wenzlau Vineyard. It is peachy, citrussy and lightly tropical, with subtle nuances of honeysuckle and chalky minerality. Light to medium-bodied this is a beautiful Chardonnay that should continue to enthral over the next decade.
