Liquid Farm White Hill Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2023

The name Liquid Farm describes the authentic nature of wine (liquid from farming), and reflects their strong belief that all great wines start in the vineyard. It is truly all about selecting the right locations and the highest quality fruit, then allowing the varietal and regional typicity to shine through from vineyard to glass. Their wines reflect an Old World style while embracing the local Santa Barbara County viticulture and climate. They focus on wines from one of the coolest of California AVA’s – the Sta. Rita Hills. It’s home to some of the most unique, ancient soils in North America and is perfect for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

This wine has great tension, mouthfeel, and focus. Notes of lemon, oyster-shell, and river rocks on both the nose and palate. This wine will continue to soften with age, but for those looking for an austere style of Chardonnay this will certainly not disappoint. Barrel Fermented and aged in entirely neutral French oak for 9 months. Finished in stainless steel tank.

"Sourced from a variety of sites in the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2023 Chardonnay White Hill matured entirely in neutral wood for nine months and is particularly overperforming this vintage. Yellow orchard fruits and pastry cream aromas are lifted by marine overtones and a touch of fennel, introducing an elegantly glossy palate with a pure, persistent and layered finish." Wine Advocate 93
