Grands Joueurs Vignerons Mon Trajet Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills 2022

Winemaker notes: Mon Trajet Chardonnay 2022 from Santa Rita Hills hails from the Bentrock Vineyard just a few miles inland from the Coast and Lompoc. Well drained diatomaceous earth creates slow yielding vines. The natural gap between the hill ranges allow coastal winds to blow through slowing down the ripening process. The long hang time produces minerality and bold crisp acidity. We just added a touch of new oak to allow the site and the wine speaks for itself. Pencil lead, melon, marsapanne on the nose underlined by stone fruit and honeydew on the palate.
