Alma Rosa 2021 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

Winemaker Notes

This Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay has a light gold color in the glass and a bouquet of verbena, lemon peel, melon and sea breeze that suggest a refreshing, enjoyable wine. On the palate, bright, mouthwatering acid is highlighted by notes of salinity and continues through to an inviting, smooth finish. Minerally flavors of wet stone and ocean gravel blend well with mouthwatering bright citrus flavors.

This wine with pair well with light seafood, such as ceviche, fish tacos, grilled lobster, clams, mussels, and some delicious salty feta. 

Critical Acclaim

93pts James Suckling
A pretty and finely made white with sliced apple, lemon rind and a hint of hazelnut. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and nice salinity. Vivid and creamy.

91pts Wine Enthusiast
Lime pith, struck match and light hints of wet wool show on the nose of this appellation cuvée. There’s a struck-stone minerality on the palate, where round melon and lychee fruit flavors are cut by a precise lemon peel acidity.
