The 2020 Chardonnay Romance is a new wine from Sandhi, sourced from vines grown at the Domaine de la Cote estate vineyards. The nose is bright and arresting, flaunting lemon peel, chalk and pastry crust. Its unabashedly concentrated citrus fruits are tempered by nervy acidity, and it has a very long, texturally compelling finish. There's something a bit magical about the expression this vintage. 198 cases were made.

In Burgundy, there is a simple delineation between a Maison (where grapes are purchased) and a Domaine (where vineyards are owned and farmed by the winery). Romance Chardonnay comes from their Domaine de la Côte estate vineyards on the very western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills. The wine is concentrated and dense.
A younger planting below Domaine de la Côte, located in the western most vineyard but south facing. Orchard fruit and flint lead the nose while citrus blossoms recalling the bright, vernal label explode on the palate. Mineral, lithe, with incredible depth and texture, rich fruit, nuttiness and acidity frame the entire package. Though outgoing and ready, this cuvée still has so much to offer in the coming years. It is a refined, joyful wine, conveyed with power and trueness to site. Pair with more rich fish such as halibut or cod
