Located just 1.2 miles from the cold Pacific, Bassi is our most coastal site and is farmed organically with biodynamic practices and inputs. The Bassi Chardonnay was originally planted in 2001 on a south-facing hillside of marine-derived sandstone and sandy loam soils. 

After pressing the grapes, the Chardonnay underwent native fermentation in neutral oak barrels and was aged on undisturbed lees for 10 months. We love to highlight the fresher side of Chardonnay, and these soils along with cold marine air deliver the lean, salty, citrusy, and mineral-driven expression that we love.

Tasting notes: Meyer lemon, sea salt, flinty minerality, orchard fruit, white citrus flowers
