Kutch Santa Cruz Mountains Trout Gulch Chardonnay 2023
- In stock, ready to ship
The Santa Cruz Mountains AVA has long offered some of California's greatest wines, with its old, gnarled vines predating any plantings in Napa. The vineyard, which winemaker Jamie Kutch has been working with for many years, is situated a mere 3.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. A combination of the sandy loam soils, sunshine, and the cold climate of this site has created a Chardonnay full of cool climate character, yet simultaneously uniquely Californian.
18/20 - Savoury nose and truly beautiful balance. Just a little hint of 'natural' on the finish but this has real conviction and its own savoury style. Not the merest hint of California popcorn! A dry spine runs through it and really refreshes the palate. Complex but accessible. Lime and line here! - Jancis Robinson MW
On the palate, vivid and lively with well-concentrated flavours of lemon and orange. Touches of hazelnuts are present, as are some sweet baked lemon notes.
Lovely in its youth, this is a white capable of ageing for at least five years.
Wonderful as an apéritif, consider pairing this Chardonnay with tuna tartar and mustard or delicate white fish.
