cooler and lower in yields than many recent years

A Loire rarity

Proof that in the right hands

Ceritas, Chardonnay 'Charles Heintz Vyd', 2024 Walter Scott 2023 cooler and lower in yieldsCharles Heintz is one of the Sonoma Coast's legendary old vineyards, a high, fog swept ridgetop site, and Ceritas turns its Chardonnay into a wine of remarkable purity and precision. This is John Raytek at his most terroir transparent: cool climate energy, vivid acidity, and a long mineral spine rather than oak and weight. A young, tightly wound vintage that will reward decanting now or short cellaring. Made in very small, allocated quantities.
