Scar of the Sea Chardonnay Vino De Los Ranchos Santa Maria Valley 2022 750ml

The 2022 vintage of Vino de los Ranchos Chardonnay comes from the old vine plantings from 1973 at the Rancho Vinedo Vineyard and younger vines planted in 2006 at the Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard, both located in Santa Maria Valley. The grapes were farmed using organic farming practices and were picked for natural acidity. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented with native yeast in neutral french oak barrels. The wine aged on lees for 19 months before its first racking for bottling. The wine was bottled with minimal sulfur, unfined and unfiltered. 576 cases produced.
