Scar of the Sea’s Vino de los Ranchos Chardonnay presents a crisp and focused profile of citrus, saline, and subtle stone fruit notes. The nose is poised and elegant, with inviting aromas of orchard fruits, toasted marshmallows, nougat and praline. The palate is energetic and laser-like in focus, leading to a crunchy, salivating finish that adds weightlessly rich depth and additional saline character with extended aeration. Vino de los Ranchos Chardonnay comes from the old vine plantings from 1973 at the Rancho Vinedo Vineyard and younger vines planted in 2006 at the Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard, both located in Santa Maria Valley. The grapes were picked for natural acidity, whole-bunch pressed, and then fermented with native yeast in neutral French oak barrels. The wine aged on lees for 19 months before its first racking to bottle, without fining or filtration, and with minimal sulfur used. 792 cases were produced.
