Liquid Farm 2023 Chardonnay White Hill, Sta. Rita Hills

The Liquid Farm 2023 “White Hill” Chardonnay opens like a breath of coastal fog: crisp lemon peel and saline oyster shell aroma drift in gently, followed by river-rock clarity that lingers quietly. It’s precise and poised, with no excess, only presence.

Across the palate, energy stretches into chalky tension. Fruit subtly unfolds—white orchard flavors—but it’s the alluvial minerality and structured backbone that hold your attention. “Austere” doesn’t mean lean; here it means disciplined, textured, and fundamentally alive.

This Chardonnay is built on a site that speaks: White Hill’s limestone-rich soils and cool Mediterranean breezes help sculpt wines with both substance and focus. It was barrel fermented and aged in neutral French oak before finishing in stainless steel—technique that expresses without echo.

Liquid Farm founded its philosophy on “liquid from farming”—and this White Hill embodies that. It feels like farming in fog-drenched rows rather than vineyard theater, favoring clarity over drama.

This Chardonnay doesn’t demand praise. It rewards patience: pour it chilled, listen, and it reveals itself slowly—layered, bright, and utterly of its place.

Liquid Farm White Hill 2023—coastal clarity, born in limestone.
