Peake Ranch Santa Barbara Chardonnay, 2018

The Santa Barbara County Chardonnay integrates the two coldest AVAs in Santa Barbara, those being the Sta. Rita Hills (sourced from the Peake Ranch Vineyard) and Santa Maria Valley (sourced from the Sierra Madre Vineyard) respectively. This bright and energetic Chardonnay is everything there is to love about the Central Coast. Clones used were 76, 96, Wente, 4 and Robert Young. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation, and was aged in 100% French oak (50% new).
