A crisp, refreshing Chardonnay with an alpine freshness and a distinctive mineral edge. Given a little time to open, the wine reveals an aromatic perfume of fir tips and a hint of eucalyptus. Deliberately picked on the nervy side at just 12.6% alcohol, it offers bright, lively acidity without feeling sharp, balanced by a mellow roundness and satisfying mid-palate weight. More Italian in spirit than traditional Chablis or Burgundy, this is a varietally expressive, understated Chardonnay that favors freshness and minerality over richness and sweetness. Valenti Vineyard sits a top remote Greenwood Ridge, just six miles from the ocean as the crow flies.
