Sandhi 'Central Coast' - Chardonnay

This 2022 Chardonnay hails from the Central Coast of California. The term 'Sandhi' in Sanskrit means collaboration, mirroring the winemakers' belief of working in harmony with one another, nature, the unique terroir, vineyard hands, and the cellar crew. Raj and Sashi, with their vast knowledge from well - known producers like Au Bon Climat and Ojai, take pleasure in creating oak - barrel aged Chardonnays and fragrant Pinot Noirs that truly represent the Santa Rita Hills. This Central Coast Chardonnay offers a fragrant nose filled with yellow peach, panna cotta, bread dough, and baking spices. On the palate, it's silky, with flavors of stone fruit and honey. The acidity lingers and is nicely balanced with a touch of smoky matchstick. It pairs perfectly with a hearty pot pie or a zesty lemon - garlic seafood pasta.

To enjoy this Sandhi Central Coast Chardonnay, first, let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes after opening to enhance its aroma. Serve it chilled at around 45 - 50°F. This wine is great with a variety of foods, especially the suggested pot pie or lemon - garlic seafood pasta. When storing, keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Make sure the bottle is stored horizontally to keep the cork moist. If you have any leftovers, re - cork the bottle tightly and store it in the fridge. It should stay good for a couple of days, but the flavor might change slightly over time.
