Sandhi Central Coast Chardonnay

Golden straw yellow in colour. The bouquet opens with hints of flint, stone and white blossoms with vibrant tree fruits and bright citrus accents. The palate is much more open-knit at this early stage, fleshing out to yellow apples and honey in a silky texture with bright freshness and a long, delicate finish.

Made by Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman out of the Domaine de la Cote winery in the Santa Rita Hills. The Sandhi label allows an exploration of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines throughout the Santa Barbara County terroirs. The Santa Rita Hills wines benefit from fruit that doesn’t make the cut at Domaine de la Cote, while the single vineyard offerings highlight the uniqueness of a handful of other sites in the appellation. The inspiration for Sandhi Wines exhibiting extreme ripeness, oak, and other discordant exaggerations cannot truly express a specific vineyards terroir.
