The 2022 Alma Rosa Chardonnay from El Jabali Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills opens with bright citrus pith, white blossoms, and ripe orchard fruits like nectarine, laced with chalky minerals and subtle honeyed florals.
On the palate, it delivers medium to full-bodied richness with a vibrant, layered mouthfeel, enhanced by toasty nutmeg, ginger, and carefully integrated oak from lees stirring. This Burgundian-style wine balances freshness and density, evoking White Burgundy with its crushed rock minerality and slick texture. Tightly wound at first, it unfolds into lemon-lime and hard stone fruit notes.
Serve lightly chilled with roasted chicken or creamy seafood pasta.
