    In the mesmerizing realm of Melville’s Sta. Rita Hills estate, Winemaker Chad Melville has crafted Melville Estate Chardonnay that defies conventional definitions. The 2022 vintage, born exclusively from 25-year-old vines, embodies the spirit of this acclaimed appellation with its vibrant character and concentrated flavors.

    With a sandy loam soil type on the west side of the estate, where chilly ocean winds blow relentlessly, the grapes experience a unique terroir that shapes their personality. A blend of clones 4, 76, and 95, alongside Mount Eden, Hanzell, Hudson, Wente, and Melville selections, results in a wine that captures the essence of the region’s hallmark traits.

    As you pour the wine into your glass, the radiant golden hue sets the stage for a tantalizing experience. Aromas of clementines and underripe pineapple greet your senses, accompanied by a subtle whiff of the Pacific Ocean’s salty breeze, evoking a coastal charm.

    On the palate, a captivating tug-of-war unfolds, perfectly balancing texture and tension. Mouthwatering notes of pineapple core and Japanese pear play harmoniously with delicate orange blossoms, creating a mesmerizing symphony of flavors. The wine’s laser-focused acidity, akin to a refreshing ocean spray, is complemented by a hint of ocean minerals, enhancing the complexity and lengthening the finish.

    In true Melville fashion, this Chardonnay exhibits a sense of restraint, allowing the purity of the fruit and the unique Sta. Rita Hills terroir to shine through. Its elegance and nuance will delight the discerning wine connoisseur, proving once again that this wine transcends the boundaries of what is expected from a “California Chardonnay.”

    For a delightful culinary pairing, savor this wine alongside grilled shrimp or classic fish and chips. Melville Estate Chardonnay 2022 promises a sensory journey that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression of Sta. Rita Hills’ unparalleled charm.
