2024 Sea Smoke "Botella" Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

An exciting new bottling from the legendary team at Sea Smoke. Botella takes the same approach as Sea Smoke Estate wines but using fruit sourced from neighboring vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills. Winemaking Notes: "Botella is named after the mineral-rich soil type found on our Estate Vineyard and other exceptional vineyards of the Sta. Rita Hills. Sourced from vineyards that neighbor the Sea Smoke estate, this Chardonnay captures the glow of the coast and the stillness of the fog-draped hills. Quietly complex and effortlessly elegant, it speaks of place with clarity and light. Crafted with the same thoughtful precision that defines every Sea Smoke wine, Botella’s winemaking features stainless steel fermentation with minimal new oak. Fresh stone fruit aromas with a complex palate of Meyer lemon, caramelized figs, pie crust, and cardamom spice."
