2023 Ceritas Mt. Pajaro Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains, USA
$89.99
East of Corralitos sits Mt. Pajaro - a major part of the network of estate vineyards owned by Rhys. In 2023, we came to an agreement with Rhys to become the first winery to ever purchase fruit from their Santa Cruz Mountains holdings. We are sourcing coveted clonal selections of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from this bucolic oasis.
Mt. Pajaro captivated us for many reasons. Beyond the beautiful view, Mt. Pajaro enjoys a startling diversity of soils, stemming from an unusual splinter in the San Andreas Fault Line. The site is farmed to exacting precision by the Rhys crew, all of whom live and work on the ranch. The early Ceritas vintages here are chiseled and bright, with an unbelievable depth of flavor.
Arrive the last week of July, 2025.
