Cool story… Millennia ago the Robertson Valley teamed with termite colonies who built magnificent nests from the soil. Over time these structures and their contents were calcified leading to the region having an exceptionally high limestone content. This wine comes from a vineyard planted on a hill where the limestone is so abundant it shimmers in low light!
This presence of limestone, so-called “white gold”, is what elevates this wine above its price-point peers. Heck, above wines twice the price! The soil imparts a complexity and structure to the wines that cannot be transmitted or achieved through wine “making” – it can only come from the ground!
Completely unoaked, this is a vibrant, pure expression of Chardonnay – think a wonderfully ripe Macon. Then take $10 off that price and you get the idea here! Oysters? Anyone? Yum!
