Native Hands "Sand Painting Turohhayish" 2023 Chardonnay, San Luis Obispo Coast

The Native Hands 2024 “Sand Painting Turohhayish” Chardonnay greets you gently—with apricot flesh and a curl of Meyer lemon peel rising through a soft haze of almond skin and chalk dust. It doesn’t demand attention. Instead, it rests, confident in its own quiet expression.

On the palate, it comes forward with calm intelligence. Fruit is modest but clear, the brightness balanced by a weightless texture carried on a beam of mineral tension. The finish trails into hint of saline and orchard pith, staying with you—not triumphant, but elegantly present.

“Sand Painting Turohhayish” isn’t just a name—it’s context. Native Hands exists to honor local heritage and the land—each bottle embedded in a story. The Chardonnay is true to place: San Luis Obispo Coast’s coastal fog, calcareous soils, and etched slopes giving fruit clarity dressed in restraint.

The winemaking echoes that ethos. It spent five months aging—85% in stainless steel, 15% in neutral French oak—just enough to frame texture, not define it. The wine stays honest: fruit, earth, and coastal intention—not cellar flourish.

This Chardonnay isn’t looking for applause—it wants to meet at the table. Pour it with oysters in citrus broth, grilled scallops, or just evening light. It doesn’t sing; it lingers.
