Scar of the Sea 2021 Vino de Los Ranchos Chardonnay

This is made from the organic Rancho Vinedo Vineyard, and fermented with native yeast in old oak barrel, kept on its lees for 17 months. (With minimal sufur at bottling this is pretty much a natural Chardonnay.) The nose opens with bright lemon oil, butterscotch, nectarine, and lemon flesh. The palate is light with zippy zippy acid and a flavor set that call to mind Chablis: lemon zest and flesh, nectarine, a hit of oak and a salted almond character to finish. D&M Tasting Notes
