From the Rancho ViƱedo vineyard, located in the Santa Maria Valley, the Vino de los Ranchos Chardonnay carries the Scar of the Sea hallmark: acidity and texture in equal measure. Lemon curd, freshly squeezed lime and a biscuitty, oatmeal character combine to create a pure distillation of Chardonnay.
