Lady of the Sunshine 'Chene Vineyards' Chardonnay Edna Valley 2023

Lady of the Sunshine was founded in 2017 by Gina Giugni, a practitioner of sustainable and regenerative farming, making wines that honor and represent the place they come from. The grapes are foot stomped, whole cluster pressed, and fermented in neutral oak barrels. The wines truly are “of the sunshine,” as the fermenting barrels are left to sit in the warm California sun to complete the process. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur usage. Floral aromas shine alongside bright citrus and zesty grapefruit. The Chene Vineyard, siting only four miles from the Pacific Ocean, lends a lovely freshness and lively acidity to the wine that is carefully retained during wine making. Organically grown, certified biodynamic, low-intervention/natural wine.
