Ancient Peaks 2024 Chardonnay, Santa Margarita Ranch, Paso Robles

It’s Chardonnay that balances richness with clarity.

A wave of pear, citrus zest, and tropical melon rolls from the glass, brushed with soft butterscotch. The palate is lush yet lively—honeydew, peach, lime, and a thread of minerality unfolding into a satiny finish scented with poached pear spice and vanilla.

Sourced from blocks 26 and 37 in Margarita Vineyard—where cool marine air, granitic soils, and careful viticulture extend the hang time—it’s layered without heaviness, generous without losing grip. It pours with purpose: rich, precise, and built for the table.
