Scar of the Sea, Solera Chardonnay Rancho Tepusquet USA (’24 Release)

This NV Solera blend of Chardonnay was established in 2014. It is 50% Solera base, built over time from 2014-2021, which have all been aged together in 500L barrels. The other 50% of the blend comes from 2022 ‘Old Vine’ Chardonnay from the Rancho Vinedo Vineyard that was aged for 18 months in 228 L barrels. The 2 components of the wine are blended right before bottling. This wine is a play on richness and acidity, reduction and oxidation. This is a special wine I have been building and caring for for a long time and that we are extremely proud of. 96 cases were produced.
