High on the Alpine Vineyard’s exposed western slope, where chalky Purisima soils meet Pacific cooling, Chardonnay achieves rare elegance. Rhys’ natural whole-cluster pressing and year-long fermentation without racking create a wine floral and aromatic yet grounded by crisp, concentrated fruitlime zest, kiwi, mineral, Anjou pearheld firmly by vivid acidity. Chardonnay that invites contemplation.
