Oceano Wines is a boutique winery founded in 2016 in San Luis Obispo Coast, the newly designated AVA highlighting this cool climate wine region. This comes off the Spanish Springs Vineyard, the westernmost vineyard in the US, 1.5 miles from the Pacific, on a mix of marine shale, limestone, sandstone. This Chardonnay, off clones 809, 17, and 96, was fermented in 228L French oak barrels, where it remained for 9 months. Fresh and bright, layered with green apple, lemon verbena, fresh almond, along a fragrant, lightly creamy palate, this finishes with a wash of salinity. Very smart, modern Cali chardy.
“The producer claims this is the closest vineyard to the ocean in California, being little more than a mile from Pismo Beach. Soils are marine shale, limestone and sandstone with marine fossils. Barrel-fermented at low temperatures with commercial yeasts and then aged for nine months in barrel with malolactic conversion blocked. 537 cases made. Smells of lemon curd, sea air, a hint of grapefruit and crushed nuts. Bright, stony flavours of lemon pith, lemon oil and a touch of yellow herbs have a nice crispness thanks to excellent acidity. There's lemon pith-and-peel dryness on the finish with a slightly chalky texture. Very pretty.” - 17+/20, JancisRobinson.com
