PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

From the chalky, ocean‑cooled slopes of Glasir Holt—an outlier Chardonnay site in Sta. Rita Hills—this wine showcases pure coastal expression. Crafted with care, wine saw 10% concrete and 90% new French oak, fermented with native yeasts, underwent malolactic fermentation, and enjoyed weekly lees stirring for 12 months.


👃 Aromas

Golden-hued and fragrant with plush peach jam, ripe nectarine, brioche, Asian pear, honeydew melon, and toasted hazelnut—brightened by hints of lemon custard 


👄 Palate & Texture

Full-bodied yet vibrant: refreshing stone fruit, lemon custard, and tropical florals, balanced by a core of minerality and crisp acidity. A silky, dance-on-the-palate texture reveals refined coastal character 


🔚 Finish

Bright and long with lively acidity and a flinty minerality that leaves a clean, elegant impression—a hallmark of its maritime origins 


In essence, the Belle Glos Glasir Holt Chardonnay is a golden‑coast delight: rich and expressive, yet gracefully kept in check by minerality and drive. A superb balance of flavor and finesse.

"Very plush aromas of peach jam and ripe nectarine meet with warm touches of brioche in this bottling from a vineyard toward the appellation's western edge. Those big peach flavors are cut by a citrusy acidity leading into a marshmallow-like finish, thanks to the ample new French oak usage. "  Wine Enthusiast 91 Points
