✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Dominion Tantara Talley Rincon Vineyard Chardonnay represents a masterful marriage of boutique winemaking and one of the Central Coast's most legendary terroirs. Located in the cool Arroyo Grande Valley, the Rincon Vineyard was first planted by the pioneering Talley family in 1982. It is celebrated for its unique soil profile, consisting of calcareous clay and loam, which imparts a distinctive chalky minerality to the grapes. Influenced by the nearby Pacific Ocean, the vineyard experiences foggy mornings and breezy afternoons, allowing the Chardonnay fruit to ripen slowly while retaining its vibrant natural acidity. Dominion Tantara honors this exceptional site through traditional Burgundian methods, employing barrel fermentation, wild yeasts, and careful lees stirring in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a sophisticated expression of California Chardonnay, balancing rich stone fruit and citrus flavors with a refined, saline-tinged finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Dominion Tantara blev grundlagt i 1997 i det kølige Santa Barbara County i Californien og er en anerkendt artisanal producent, der især udmærker sig med sine terroirdrevne vine på Pinot Noir og Chardonnay. Vingården henter sine druer fra berømte marker på Central Coast, herunder Bentrock, Dierberg og La Encantada, og arbejder ud fra en filosofi om minimal indgriben med inspiration fra Bourgogne for at lade hver enkelt årgangs renhed træde tydeligt frem. I kælderen prioriteres spontangæring med vildgær, nænsom vinificering og en velafbalanceret brug af franske egetræsfade. Det resulterer i præcise og elegante vine med enestående dybde og et stort lagringspotentiale. Udover de roste enkeltmarks- og reserve-vine på Pinot Noir fremstiller Dominion Tantara også raffinerede mikro-cuvéer af Chardonnay, Syrah og Cabernet Franc.
