Arnot Roberts Trout Gulch Chardonnay 2021

Tasting Notes

The Trout Gulch Vineyard is tucked within a dark and forested coastal canyon at 600’ above the sleepy village of Aptos, about 4 miles from the ocean in Santa Cruz County. As with many of our sites, Trout Gulch lies at the absolute edge of ripening potential for the grape variety. The soils in this cool site are fine sandy loam and the vines are carefully tended. Harvest at Trout Gulch often stretches until mid-October and this long, slow growing season results in wines that are high in natural acidity, strong minerality, and have notable salinity on the palate. - Winery Note
