Tasting Notes The 2023 SLH Chardonnay is expressive and fruit forward. It opens with lemon cream and citrus with a beautiful streak of minerality. Our winemaker chose to age this wine in 100% French oak barrels, 15% new, to create a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of Meyer lemon, pineapple and honeydew are balanced by a hint of toasty oak. The finish is long and creamy yet beautifully balanced with fresh acidity.

Pairings Poultry, Fish, Cheeses, Creamy Pasta
The Story
The 2023 SLH Chardonnay was sourced exclusively from the marine influenced Smith & Lindley vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The Santa Lucia Highlands are perched on the terraces of the Santa Lucia Mountains. South of the Monterey Bay, this cool climate appellation benefits from a combination of sunshine and afternoon winds. These intense winds slow down photosynthesis leading to a long growing season and allowing fruit to mature slowly on the vines for rich and vibrant flavors.
