This wine is bright, lush, with aromas of peach, apple, clove, and notes of vanilla on the nose. The flavors on the palate are nectarine, Yellow apple, citrus blossom, intertwined with allspice, lemon peel, mineral, and a dry long finish. —
A match made in heaven between luscious fruity aromas and delicious chocolate. It begins with a light sweet note before the creamy caramel transitions to a soft Mocha with an intense spicy taste, culminating in a delicious, candied fruit finish.
With Diatom, Winemaker Greg Brewer seeks to capture Chardonnay in its most pure and unadulterated state. Diatom is named for diatomaceous earth, which is a plankton fossil found in the oceanic landscape of Santa Barbara County.
"Diatom is motivated by the pursuit of subtraction and refinement. It is the polishing of a grain of rice until one has reached its ultimate inner core. Our Sta. Rita Hills marine landscape is stark and so are the wines of its provenance. We strive for a recognition of place with as little disturbance, distraction or interference as possible. The resulting wines have a sense of transparency and a purity of intent and purpose." Greg Brewer Winemaker
