Liquid Farm Winery Bien Bien Chardonnay 2015 Santa Maria Valley

Chardonnay 100%

Liquid Farm's only single vineyard chardonnay. Produced with grapes from the 40+ year old vines in the Ben Nacido vineyard. Matured in French Oak barrels, 30% 1st fill.

Liquid Farm source their grapes from family owned vineyards that have soils that have been carefully tended over the years and allow the fruit produced to express the character of the soil. In 2013 owner Jeff Nelson was offered fruit from the Ben Nacido vineyard in Santa Maria. Wine maker James Sparks produced a separate batch of wine from this fruit, intending it to be a component for a blended wine. When tasted, this wine displayed a unique special character and it was decided it should be bottled as a single vineyard wine. This wine was not just good, but double good: hence the name.
