Sandhi ‘Romance’ Chardonnay (2020) is made exclusively with grapes from the Domaine de la Côte estate vineyards, farmed organically, within the Sta Rita Hills AVA of the Central Coast region of California.

After a wild-yeast fermentation, this wine aged 10 months in neutral oak and 6 months in tank. It is textured with flinty mineral notes, next to layered aromas and flavors of toast, cream, cheese rind, white blossom, lime zest and just-ripe apple, pear, white peach, nectarine, honeydew, and starfruit. It is precise, elegant, and nuanced.

It has a freshness and vibrancy with a textured mouthfeel, bright acidity, and a delicately reductive character. At 12.8% ABV, this wine sits firmly within the medium alcohol range, speaking to the cooling coastal winds that are prevalent in the Sta Rita Hills AVA.

It’s absolutely delicious and a versatile culinary complement.

Cheers to Sandhi and beautiful, terroir-driven California Chardonnays! — 2 months ago

Name and art are cool ish. Rusty and brown on edge. Flavors are classic coastal stuff. Ripe plums. Apple skins. Fresh cherry juice. Bit of funk. This is well worth the $8. — 2 years ago

Coastal influence, diatomaceous soils. Briny salinity is noticeable on this one, coupled with bright fruit (black Cherry and cola). Traditionally styled PN. Delicious. — 3 years ago

Very nice with a quick decant. Fruit is very Sta. Rita Hills but shifts into mineral and saline elements. Amazing quality from such new vines. 2019s I’ve had from this coastal area of Sta Rita Hills are all excellent. (Chanin, Tyler, Sanford) — 2 years ago

One of the best Pinotages I drank. The glass was perfumed with fresh truffle before the wine was poured. Remarkable experience jn the La Colombe wine cellar. @Kay Delectable this is the coastal pinotage — 7 months ago

Was recommended this blend from Hartenberg Cellar from the slopes of the Bottelary Hills Stellenbosch. It surprised me being elegant and classy on the palate and nose. Give it a try hopefully as a blend it won’t disappoint. — 3 years ago
