Winemaker Notes

Styled in the manner of the great wines of the Côte d’Or, the Golden Slope is a layered and textural Chardonnay with a kiss of new oak from top vineyards sites throughout the Sta. Rita Hills. The wine is made up of nearly 40% Clos Pepe, with the remaining thirds of fruit from La Rinconada, Bentrock, and Kessler-Haak. The wine was barrelWhen putting together the final blend for the Golden Slope, Liquid Farm is looking for barrels exhibiting a bit more richness and depth than the White Hill. Once those barrels are identified we introduce about 15% new French Oak and age the wine for 15 months prior to bottling.
