  • Krutz Family Cellars started as a small operation producing quality wines strictly for family and friends. It soon grew into a producer of Santa Lucia Highland Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a global following.
  • Their 2019 Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay blends Old Wente and Montrachet clones to express lemon curd, grapefruit zest, and baked stone fruit notes.
  • Undergoing fermentation in French oak and 'sur lie' aging added a rich layer of texture and croissant aromas, making it an excellent pairing for lobster ravioli or mussels in white sauce.

2019 Krutz Chardonnay Soberanes Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands

Tasting Notes
Our Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay is a blend of two famous Chardonnay clones: the New World Old Wente and the Old World Montrachet. Aged on the fine lees (sur lie), there is a richness and complexity in texture that balances the present and refreshing acidity. The 2019 vintage highlights the citrus zest and the chalky minerality one would expect from the Santa Lucia Highlands and particularly the Soberanes Vineyard. The lemon zest acidity is backed by a subtle French oak presence and a refreshing finish.

Vineyard Notes
Located next to Gary's Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, the Soberanes Vineyard is a joint venture between the Pisoni and Franscioni Families. The site features tightly spaced vines and is planted to 33 acres of world-renowned clonal selections of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah.

Warm aromas of peach, honeysuckle and white melon are edged by a steely minerality on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate lands with a creamy mouthfeel, carrying satisfying flavors of butter, baked nectarine and coconut flake, leading into a toasty finish.
