White

This 100% Chardonnay is native yeast fermented in barrel (33% new French oak) and aged for 17 months. Alluring aromatics of sea spray, a kiss of flinty minerality, fresh ginger, a touch of fennel, and white currant. Wonderfully pure and supple on the palate, framed by that salty minerality which primes the palate for roast chicken or fish dishes. Laser-focused with tremendous tension—a real dazzler. Sourced from about a hectare of Clone 4 Chardonnay vines in the west-facing, very cold, certified-organic Devoto Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. Clone 4, a high-acid clone, delivers a strong site signature with vines rooted in sandy Goldridge soils. ‘They call this a Donelan Monopole,’ muses winemaker David Milner, who directs the farming and all picking decisions.
