2021 Rhys Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay, California, USA
$50.00
Sourced from Rhys’ steep, low-yielding, ocean-cooled sites across the northern Santa Cruz Mountains—predominantly Alpine, Horseshoe, and Skyline vineyards—each rooted in fractured shale and sandstone that drive the domaine’s signature mineral cut. Whole-cluster pressed, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in mostly neutral French oak with minimal bâtonnage, the 2021 shows the tension of a cool, long-growing season
