Dazzling aromatics and bright, saline accents frame this wine's elegant structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes for this wine come from two Chardonnay parcels from this well known vineyard located on the western end of Santa Rosa Road. Both north facing; the first sits atop the vineyard looking out over the Santa Rita Hills on very rocky soils, in an extremely exposed and windy perch. The second, a little lower and with more topsoil, sits just to the east and is protected by the hilltop where our other piece sits. The soils are a mix of Santa Lucia shaly clay loam and Tierra sandy loam.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes were fermented in a combination of 500 litre puncheons, 350 litre barrels and 228 litre barriques, resulting in about 25% new oak on the wine. After just under a year in barrel, the wines were moved to tank for an additional six months of cellaring on lees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRacines is a collaboration between Étienne de Montille of Domaine de Montille in Volnay and American-born winemaker Brian Sieve.
