The site at Bentrock benefits from a marginal climate and unique soils, allowing Sandhi to produce amazingly concentrated fruit for this stunningly gorgeous Chardonnay.
In his recent review of the Sandhi wines, Antonio Galloni said: ‘It is quite conceivable that within a few years the Sandhi Chardonnays and Pinots could become reference point, benchmark wines for Santa Barbara, and California, for that matter’. This sort of praise will come as no surprise to those…
Using the very first plantings in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation, Sandhi have produced an elegantly poised Chardonnay with irresistible concentration and texture.
This vibrant, balanced, superior Chardonnay is a great example of quality wine from the Santa Rita Hills AVA. Blended from various vineyards where a cool breeze from the nearby ocean helps to develop complexity and flavour.
The 2014 Blanc des Blanc is the first Champagne Method sparkling wine from Sandhi Wines. It is produced from Chardonnay sourced from the famed Bentrock Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. The base wine is produced by Sandhi, before being bottled for secondary fermentation by their close friend Michael Cruse.
