Racines Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2018 shows a finely etched, tense profile where citrus and green orchard fruit glide over a sleek, saline backbone, gradually gaining a gentle creaminess with air. Subtle notes of toasted nut, light caramel and white flowers add depth without weight, keeping the wine focused, long and quietly complex on the finish.

Racines Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay is a cool‑climate, Burgundian‑styled cuvée drawn from Sta. Rita Hills parcels (notably Wenzlau and La Rinconada) that emphasizes bright citrus and white‑flower aromatics, chalky/seashell minerality and racy acidity; winemaking uses limited new oak and subtle lees influence to add texture rather than overt oakiness, producing a focused, elegant Chardonnay that reflects the coastal terroir.
