2023 | Alma Rosa | Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay

A cool-climate California Chardonnay from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, known for its ocean-influenced vineyards and mineral-driven style. The 2023 vintage reflects a colder growing season, resulting in bright acidity, layered texture, and a balance between ripe orchard fruit and earthy minerality.

Producer Information

Alma Rosa Winery is based in California’s Sta. Rita Hills, a cool-climate region heavily influenced by Pacific Ocean breezes that help preserve acidity and structure in Chardonnay. The winery focuses on Burgundian-inspired winemaking, producing wines that emphasize minerality, balance, and site expression rather than heavy oak. Founded by Richard Sanford, a pioneer of the Santa Barbara wine region, Alma Rosa works with estate vineyards spread across varied elevations and soils to highlight terroir diversity. The winery follows a sustainability-driven approach and is known for crafting elegant, layered Chardonnay styles that reflect the unique coastal conditions of Sta. Rita Hills.
