2022 Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay
This 2022 embodies a fruit forward, luscious style of Chardonnay from warm, Santa Lucia Highlands. Pineapple, fennel, white peach and exotic fruits verge on the tropical. Additional notes of marzipan, marshmallow, popcorn and caramelized apple make the mouth water and the connoisseur come back for more. Taught acidity fows elegantly throughout the mouthfeel and leaves the palate refreshed.
The Soberanes Vineyard, located in the heart of the Santa Lucia Highlands, builds upon a tradition of high-quality winegrowing. The vineyard is a special project between the Pisoni and Franscioni families, whose friendship spans three generations and are known for the Pisoni, Garys', Rosella’s and Sierra Mar Vineyards. We made this wine for the first time in 2018. We are thrilled to be working with this outstanding St. Lucia Highlands vineyard after admiring other Soberanes Vineyard wines for years.
