Poletti-Edna Ranch 2023
The 2023 Poletti Chardonnay from Edna Ranch is a true expression of the San Luis Obispo Coast's unique terroir. A wet winter and cooler spring delayed the growing season, leading to slow, even ripening and allowing the fruit to develop deep complexity and exceptional balance. The vineyard, nestled in the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucia Range, benefits from seabed limestone-based soils and ideal southern exposure, creating a wine of elegance and depth.
This medium yellow wine with silver highlights offers complex aromas of kiwi, yellow apple, and melon, balanced with hints of hay, marshmallow, white flowers, and brioche. On the palate, it is medium full-bodied with flavors of lemon curd, yogurt, and limoncello, accented by limestone and nutmeg, all complemented by a refreshing acidity.
Aged for 11 months in 100% French oak, this Chardonnay is a beautiful balance of rich texture and bright freshness, showcasing its distinct sense of place.
