CA, Santa Maria Valley
100% Chardonnay
This wine is showing remarkable vibrancy at the moment. It boasts a rich, tropical fruit profile, with juicy, mouth-filling texture that leads to a long, satisfying finish. The wine beautifully expresses the distinctive terroir of the Santa Maria Valley, with its cool coastal influences and complex soils. Sourced from 50-year-old vines, the depth and concentration of flavors are evident. While it’s drinking wonderfully now, with its bright acidity and layered complexity, it has the potential to age gracefully for a few more years.
A little about Bedrock Wine Co. from their website:
“The winery is first and foremost a mission-driven operation dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating old vineyards around California. These vineyards, planted by California’s viticultural pioneers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are living pieces of history. Not only are we able to draw inspiration from those very pioneers, but we get to actually use the materials they planted, which have survived two world wars, Prohibition and a constantly changing marketplace. If something has been growing for over 100 years it not only deserves the respect of us humans, but it probably makes some darn good wine too.”
