St Huberts The Stag Santa Barbara Chardonnay 750ml

Grapes for this delicate Chardonnay come from two Santa Barbara County Vineyards. Cat Canyon Vineyard’s hillier blocks in the Los Alamos area and Santa Maria Valley’s North Vineyard – two cool sites influenced by the Pacific. With the addition of 3.5% Chenin Blanc, the floral and lanolin notes are appealing on the aromatics and play a role in texturizing a creamy palate. Aged sur lie, along with French oak and partial ML, there’s body, acidity and balance of fruit that keeps it within a framework of ripe pear, pineapple and lemon verbena.
