The Clima Frío (or cool-climate) wines express our commitment to the coolest, most Western viticultural pockets of our region. Places where each variety benefits from ocean influence that ensures slow, gradual ripening with retention of nuance and natural acidity.
This 2023 Clima Frío Chardonnay comes from grapes grown at Rancho Ontiveros in the Santa Maria Valley (56%), along with fruit from Yellow Foxtrot (44%), a newer planting that’s nestled in the hills very close to Lompoc (just Northwest of the Sta. Rita Hills).
