Littorai is a small, family-owned, and operated winery that produces vineyard-designated Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the coastal mountains of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. The 2018 Littorai Charles Heintz Vineyard is pure, classic, highest-quality Chardonnay. It shows a yellow-gold in the glass and delivers brooding notes of bruised pear, yellow and green apples, preserved Meyer lemon, crushed salted almonds, and honeycomb. On the palate, layered flavors of orchard fruit unfold with a broad palate-coating texture and invigorating mineral zip. This is serious Chardonnay, to be poured alongside any high-praised bottle from Burgundy.
