2018 Ultima Tulie Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley

Winery Notes

The sunrise hits the morning dew with a glisten. It’s brisk outside but the warmth of the sun suggests it’s going to be a hot one. The marriage of warmth and crispness is what this wine is all about. The nuance and clarity are reflective of the 25% stainless steel, while the oak adds depth and texture. Perfectly balanced by hints of bright lemon and kiwi, this wine is smooth and refreshing, perfect for a warm summer picnic.
