The Hilt Chardonnay 2021

Wines are defined by place, style and time and in the southwest corner of Sta. Rita Hills AVA lies a rugged, windswept, coastal vineyard called The Hilt Estate, an estate grower-producer of stunning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reflective of this dynamic corner of California.

Golden peach and lemon oil. Touch of flinty complexity. Freshly baked brioche with apricot. Chamomile notes and candied ginger. Stone fruit and acacia honey on the suave and generous palate. Luminous acidity forms the perfect balance to the notes of sweet cream that emerge on the long and luscious finish. Elegant, refined and full of the tantalizing energy that makes Chardonnay from this area so singular and remarkable.
