2024 Alfaro "Trout Gulch Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay

Picked before the harvest's early October heat waves, the 2024 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard was fermented in stainless steel and matured in neutral barrels for 10 months, offering a pitch-perfect example of the profile one can expect from the coastal section of the Santa Cruz Mountains. A striking, pure bouquet of citrus oil, sea spray and jasmine introduces a weightlessly concentrated and elastic mouthfeel, concluding with a long, focused finish propelled by beaming acidity and maritime flavors.
