Subtle citrus cream and white flower aromas lead into a poised, energetic palate in the 2021 Racines Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay, where lemon, lime and crisp apple are layered with hints of tarragon, toasted nuts and a gentle creaminess. Bright acidity and a salty snap through the finish keep the wine both refreshing and complex, with just enough oak richness to feel inviting rather than heavy.

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.
