Back in 2011 Puerta Del Mar was a new planting tha Back in 2011 Puerta Del Mar was a new planting that we were both excited and unsure about. Unsure because we weren’t certain whether such an extremely coastal site would provide anything but an odd, geeky wine. The vineyard is nearly in Lompoc, west of the Sta. Rita Hills, and the cool wind coming up the riverbed is almost relentless.⁠⁠But Adam loved the vineyard architecture—tight and densely planted rows, with vines trained to high and narrow canopies—and thought perhaps the wines would be odd, or perhaps they’d be profound.⁠⁠Profound is what we’ve discovered. Being so close to the ocean, there’s a constant moderating influence on the climate which preserves delicacy and provides precise balance. The soils are remarkable too, being a diverse alluvial composite of rocks from a vast watershed that noses all the way into Ventura County. We’re sure that the nuance of the wines can be attributed to these influences.⁠⁠We've celebrated all this with a special 2011 Chardonnay & Pinot Duo available on our website.

New wood can be really beautiful with Chardonnay. New wood can be really beautiful with Chardonnay. When used judiciously, it can subtly frame vineyard expression without obscuring it. Puerta Del Mar is our most fine-boned and racy Chardonnay, so 25% new oak brings a textural substance that enhances this wine. These barrels are also specially selected using wood that's aged longer, 3 years, providing a pure and creamy profile with a bit of exotic flair that's just enough to draw you in. Introducing the 2018 Puerta Del Mar Chardonnay, Special Bottling. ⁠⁠
