Sandhi Wines Chardonnay Romance 2022
The Winery
Sandhi
Sandhi is a small production California winery focusing on select vineyards from the Sta. Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County and was founded in 2010 by Rajat Parr, the wine director for Michael Mina Restaurants, and esteemed winemaker, Sashi Moorman. Sandhi represents a union essential to the production of wine: the collaboration between man, earth, and vine. The willing participation of all three elements is necessary to make great wine, and the winegrower must make this collaboration rich and nourishing for all involved. An understanding of these joint efforts informs Sandhi’s exploration of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines throughout the Santa Barbara County terroir.
Summary
The Sandhi Wines Chardonnay Romance 2022 is a limited-release cuvée from Santa Barbara County that highlights the region's terroir. This wine is crafted through native-yeast fermentations in mostly neutral oak, allowing the site to shine through. The 2022 vintage faced challenges with drought and heat, leading to a carefully timed harvest. On the palate, it presents a vibrant profile with notes of citrus and floral elements, complemented by Granny Smith apple and ripe lemon. The wine's mineral character and crisp acidity enhance its fresh character, while hints of Earl Grey tea and creamy texture add complexity.
