Sandhi Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2022
- In stock, ready to ship
Sandhi rank amongst the most highly regarded and influential wineries in California, founded and run by the pioneering duo of Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr. Renowned for their work in shaping the 'New Wine' movement in California during the early-mid 200s, they have achieved widespread acclaim for their work in Santa Barbara's windswept Sta. Rita Hills region. This is their appellation level Chardonnay, a wine that continues to offer superb value for money. Sourced from Domaine de la Côte and William Hines vineyards, this is a classic and lifted expression of the Sta. Rita Hills. Juicy, acid-driven, and filled with finesse, it delights with notes of green fruits and citrus, alongside an indelible minerality thanks to its origins near the Pacific Ocean.
95/100 - A vivid, racy and well-balanced wine with great acidity and vibrant citrus, crisp pear and apple flavors on a silky texture. So light-bodied, elegant and linear in character. Drink now or hold. - Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com
92/100 - Sandhi Chardonnay features medium aromatic intensity with sun-ripened apple, wet sandstone, and citrus driving the nose, as well as white flowers and green pear on the palate. 500-litre oak barrel ferments provide depth of texture and complementing flavours of bruised yellow apple and dried white sage that balance sharp acidity. A medium-body mouthfeel widens mid-palette, providing textural weight for a slightly saline mineral finish. - Vanessa Rason, Decanter
91/100 - Sourced from selections planted at Domaine de la Côte, the 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is more floral than saline on the nose, introducing a focused, laser-like palate whose precision overdelivers for a regional wine. It finishes with a lovely textural richness framed with an oceanic lift, making for a charming and accurate showing of the Sta. Rita Hills. - Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate
90/100 - The 2022 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a tense, finely-cut Chardonnay. Bright citrus peel, white flowers, chalk, mint and white pepper lend notable brilliance throughout. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
On the palate, a juicy and acid-driven wine of true finesse. Superbly textured and well-rounded, subtle hints of creaminess and spice round out the tasting experience.
