Region: Santa Barbara County, California, USA
Variety: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2022
The Wine
Sourced primarily from old vines in the historic Patterson Ranch, this Sandhi Chardonnay shows Rajat Parr’s minimalist approach in full effect. Whole-bunch pressed, wild fermented and aged in neutral oak, it emphasises texture over weight. Expect aromas of green apple, lemon curd and chamomile, with a saline, mineral-edged palate that’s beautifully restrained.
Cellared Says
California Chardonnay at its most refined, yet characterful – tense, pure and endlessly drinkable. A masterclass in freshness and control, proving restraint is the new luxury. Drink 2024–2030. Single Bottle Available. A proper cult Chardonnay for those in the know.
