✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named after the Japanese word representing the connection between heart, mind, and soul, the Kokoro Chardonnay is Paul Lato's ultimate tribute to emotional craftsmanship in winemaking. This limited-production cuvée is a rigorous barrel selection sourced from the finest cool-climate vineyard blocks in Santa Barbara County, where the dramatic maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean preserves brilliant natural acidity. Crafted with minimal intervention, the wine undergoes barrel fermentation and aging in French oak, utilizing gentle lees stirring to develop a luxurious, multi-layered texture. The result is an incredibly poised Chardonnay that captures the tension between opulent California fruit and a refined, mineral-driven structure.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Paul Lato Wines er et anerkendt boutique-vinhus i Santa Barbara County, Californien, grundlagt i 2002 af den polskfødte tidligere sommelier Paul Lato. Med udgangspunkt i en kompromisløs, håndværksmæssig og minimalistisk vinfremstilling, hvor terroirets renhed og balance er i højsædet, samarbejder Lato med nogle af Central Coasts mest prestigefyldte kølige vinmarker, herunder Bien Nacido, Solomon Hills og Larner. Vingården høster stor international anerkendelse for sine intenst aromatiske, teksturerede og nuancerede Pinot Noir-, Syrah-, Grenache- og Chardonnay-vine i mikrolodder, som roses for deres rene frugtudtryk, strukturelle præcision og karakteristiske, poetiske cuvée-navne.
