In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pour this wine and you'll find restraint rendered luminous. Pale gold in colour, the aromatics are delicate and floral: chamomile and verbena lead, with white peach and mint threaded through, and underneath a persistent citrus lift. On the palate, that restraint deepens into something mineral and saline—the kind of brightness you'd expect from high-altitude fruit in remote mountain pockets. The acidity is vibrant without harshness, the body light and transparent. This is California Chardonnay that doesn't shout; it whispers.

The Winery — Far Mountain

Winemakers Rodrigo Soto and Mai Errazuriz, after decades at leading wineries across the Americas, founded Far Mountain three years ago with a conviction that California's finest potential lies in remote Sonoma Valley mountain pockets. They sourced the 2021 vintage from Bald Mountain, a vineyard planted in 1972 on heritage clones and dry-farmed in poor, fractured-tectonic soils. That lean, concentrated vintage saw winter drought push ripening early, yet mature vines adapted well, delivering grapes of exceptional intensity and vibrant acidity. Whole-cluster pressing and extended barrel work with indigenous yeast—11 months in mostly older French oak—built a wine of depth without heaviness. The saline, mineral length lingers deliberately, almost with restraint.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This wine pairs beautifully with butter sauces, creamy dressings, roasted fish, and grilled seafood—anywhere you want brightness and minerality rather than weight. It's equally at home with poultry, pasta, and risotto dishes where acidity and restraint elevate rather than overwhelm. A perfect choice for date night or gifting to those who appreciate refinement over ripeness. One of the finest expressions of restrained Chardonnay, it sits at the heart of our United States selection and exemplifies why Sonoma Valley remains a source of unexpected refinement.
