From California’s Santa Barbara County, Pali Wine Co Chardonnay 2023 captures the cool-climate character of coastal vineyards. Made from Chardonnay grapes and fermented with wild native yeasts, it opens with wet stone, lemon balm, macadamia, and soft nectarine aromas, offering a subtle yet intriguing profile.

The palate is tightly wound and mineral-driven, with crisp apple flesh, citrus, and Asian pear layered over a chalky texture. Unfined and unfiltered, it shows purity and length. Best enjoyed lightly chilled, allowing its natural complexity and structure to slowly unfold in the glass.
