The Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay is bright and sculpted in feel, and captures the more taut style of the appellation, with plenty of lime, lemon, green pear, minerals and white pepper overtones. The fruit comes from the vineyard sites of Domaine de la Cte, Sanford & Benedict, Patterson and Bentrock. If you appreciate taut Chardonnays you will simply fawn over this Chardonnay from Sandhi.
