2013 'La Hermana' Chardonnay
AVA: Santa Maria
VINEYARDS: 60% Bien Nacido, 33% Dierberg & 7% Maldonado
AGING: 11mos. 100% Neutral
The inaugural release of this new bottling! La Hermana - the sister - is the first sister to our SRH Chards and from a Sisterly, neighboring AVA of Santa Maria. With the deep Spanish roots of the town we decided 'La Hermana' seemed a fitting name indeed.
PROFILE: fresh linen, zesty minerality, marzipan, refreshing herbs and flowers, taut, polished
