The palate is shimmery and perfumed, with nutty tones hinting at more savory complexity to come with bottle age. It has a fine, chalky texture that anchors the very long finish, and the overall style nods to a great Chablis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The 2019 Chardonnay White Hill is a wild, exotic wine. Freshly cut flowers, mint, peach, crushed rocks and slate all race across the palate. This is an especially taut style. There is a hint of reduction that will probably dissipate in bottle. I am more concerned with the volatile acidity, which is at the limit of what most readers are likely to accept. Vineyard sources are Kessler-Haak, Clos Pepe and La Rinconada.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nLiquid Farm’s first vintage was born of four barrels of 2009 Chardonnay. As a nearly 30-year wine industry veteran, it was Nelson’s experience working for Veuve Clicquot in the 1990s which helped to shape how Liquid Farm was formed. He went on to work for other champagne houses to help further his branding experience, but it was not until he was working for Champagne Henriot, which also owned William Fèvre Chablis and Bouchard Père et Fils, that he fell in love with Burgundy. Nelson, now a Santa Ynez Valley resident, explains, “Living in Los Angeles, I was a locavore when it came to food, but I didn’t ‘drink local’. In 2009, with friendship and guidance from Dragonette Cellars, I was able to produce 100 cases of Chardonnay from the Sta. Rita Hills, which resembled more of an old world style. It was what I enjoyed drinking, but grown closer to home.” Liquid Farm’s wine philosophy incorporates old world-inspiration meshed with the label’s support of local viticulture. Liquid Farm’s wines are earth- and mineral driven, with little or no use of new oak, shining a spotlight on the representation of the soil in which the vines producing their wines, have grown. Liquid Farm’s grapes are pulled from a carefully-curated selection of vineyards, some of which are organically-farmed, and Liquid Farm’s sustainably-produced wines face minimal contact in the winery yielding modest alcohol levels and preserved natural acidity. Liquid Farm’s current case production hovers around 5,000 cases, all overseen by winemaker James Sparks.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42783604736138,"sku":"","price":173.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/36_03004eb7-686b-4712-9f2c-c26c01031728.png?v=1676553682","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-nl\/products\/2019-liquid-farm-white-hill-chardonnay","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
