Vista Al Rincon

2012 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

The Sanford Direct Vista Al Rincon Chardonnay from the 2012 vintage is a striking example of California's Sta. Rita Hills region, known for its cool climate that beautifully nurtures the Chardonnay varietal. This wine presents a brilliant pale straw color, inviting you to explore its complex aromas. On the nose, you will discover a medley of ripe stone fruits, particularly juicy peach and apricot, complemented by delicate floral undertones and hints of zesty citrus. The palate boasts an elegant balance, featuring vibrant acidity that lends brightness and refreshing qualities, while its smooth, slightly creamy texture adds a touch of richness. This wine is remarkably food-friendly, perfect for pairing with light seafood dishes or roasted poultry, ultimately delivering a delightful and memorable tasting experience.
