Note di degustazione
Proportion of whole-bunch pressing varies; similar to burgundy. Fermentation in open vats from Burgundy for two weeks. No racking after malo. Aged on fine lees only for 14–18 months in 228-litre barrels. Then they rack and keep only very fine lees during a month in tank. 15–20 mg/l SO 2 . 15,000 bottles, and they export 60% via the de Montille burgundy network. Lively, fresh citrus nose. Lovely texture. Light bitterness on the end. Racy and open and friendly. Quite long. (JR)

The 2020 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills Cuvee is a solid, entry-level offering from Racines. Apricot, lemon confit, tangerine and light tropical accents all grace this open-knit, inviting Chardonnay. This is a pretty overt style, but it works nicely.
