Alfaro Trout Gulch Chardonnay 2023 (750ml) Simonsberg-StellenboschWinemaker Notes The Trout Gulch Vineyard is tucked within a dark and forested coastal canyon at 600 above the sleepy village of Aptos, about 4 miles from the ocean in Santa Cruz County. This beautiful and pioneering site was planted by Bernard Turgeon in 1980 to the old Wente clone of Chardonnay, which is considered by many to be the heritage selection of Chardonnay in California. Harvest at Trout Gulch often stretches until mid October and this long,

pair this with a plate of food and you'll be extremely happy

those fine terroirs found in the most continental parts of southern Touraine

LOLA's Cabernet Sauvignon is bright and fresh (for Cabernet especially) with aromas and flavors representing the entire raspberry bush

Luxuriously firm tannins and bright acidity imparted by a very fine vintage balance the exuberance of the fruit and drive to a very long finish

its interplay of youth and ageability

A moderate protective destemming and a crushing at room temperature are carried out

it's a strong showing and hopefully an indication that quality will remain high under the new ownership

It was fermented in steel from sustainably-grown grapes using indigenous yeasts

that define Margaret River Chardonnay

Decant and drink now

Ma is for Marina
