Description
Ripe and aromatic, this Sonoma chardonnay is an acid-driven white that only uses stainless steel for fermentation, with a little old oak aging to add complexity. Lioco was originally created by Spago Beverly Hills wine director Kevin O’Connor and wine salesman Matt Licklider. Today, the winery is owned and operated by the Licklider family in Santa Rosa. None of the fruit is estate fruit, but purchased from best sites in Santa Cruz, Sonoma and Mendocino. A selection of complementary Sonoma County vineyards compose this wine, with an emphasis on the Russian River Valley. While each site is distinct, they share a common commitment to sustainable horticulture and strident farming. Our intention for this wine is to express the unique character of this region. Warm days and cool nights, tempered by consistent oceanic fog, yield nuanced chardonnays balanced by brisk acidity.
