✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by master sommelier turned winemaker Paul Lato, the 'East Eden' Chardonnay is a stunning tribute to one of California's most legendary winegrowing sites: the Pisoni Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The name itself pays homage to John Steinbeck's classic novel 'East of Eden', set in the nearby Salinas Valley. Sourced from a specific, cool-climate block of the rugged Pisoni estate, this wine benefits from the dramatic maritime influences of Monterey Bay, where morning fog and fierce afternoon winds preserve natural acidity while allowing the grapes to develop intense flavor complexity. Lato's minimal-intervention approach shines here; the wine is barrel-fermented using native yeasts and aged in select French oak barrels. The result is a Chardonnay of remarkable tension, balancing a rich, voluptuous texture with a spine of crystalline minerality and vibrant citrus notes, capturing the wild, untamed spirit of the Santa Lucia Highlands.
🍾 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.
