A ripe yet elegant Chardonnay from one of California's finest climates for Burgundy varieties. Brewer-Clifton are a top quality producer making Chardonnay from three superb vineyards, which come together in this beautiful estate offering. Santa Rita is relatively close to the equator, but ripeness comes nice and slow thanks to cooling influence coming up the hills from the Pacific coast, which surrounds it on three sides. This perfect balance of power with flavour development and definition is here also given careful handling, no forced malolactic and neutral oak, making this a really serious expression of the grape and region.
