Liquid Farm - Pinot Noir SBC Santa Rita Hills 2023

Often said, but very true, all great wine starts in the vineyard. Liquid Farm’s project name reflects their strong belief in that philosophy. It is truly all about place in combination with the highest quality fruit and letting the varietal and regional typicity of the wine shine through from vineyard to glass… Liquid from Farming.

They allow the wines to develop on their own with little intervention, minimal or no new oak and use no additives or machines to manipulate the wines’ inherent personality.

Liquid Farm selfishly decided to start out making what they most love to drink: Chardonnay that is earth and mineral driven from cool climates with little or no new oak. To achieve these qualities they were drawn to one of the coolest of all California AVA's, Sta. Rita Hills. Located in Santa Barbara County, it is home to some of the most Chardonnay-suited, unique, ancient soils in North America.

Liquid Farm is also committed to blending from the handful of special vineyards they work with in the small AVA of Sta. Rita Hills to produce a collection of Chardonnays that are markedly different expressions, but with the same thread of intense minerality and salinity they started with in the vineyard.

Though designated Santa Barbara County on the label, this was sourced entirely from some of the most prized vineyards in Sta. Rita Hills. Partial stem inclusion and a kiss of new French oak aging add lovely dimension to this evocative Pinot's black cherry, sassafras, cinnamon and clove aromas and flavors that leap from the glass.
