Racines Chardonnay 'Sta. Rita Hills Cuvée' 2020

An exciting new project in Californian wine, Racines brings together the considerable talents of Burgundy royalty Étienne de Montille with Rodolphe Péters of Pierre Péters, one of Champagne’s finest growers.

Drawn by the cool climate and historic old-vine sites of Santa Barbara’s Sta. Rita Hills, the pair established Racines in 2016. With the help of local vigneron Justin Willett, they use a high-quality, organic approach to farm some of the region’s most esteemed sites, including Sanford & Benedict, La Rinconada, and Bentrock vineyards.
