The 2023 Vieilles Vignes remains faithful to that philosophy, presenting Chardonnay in its most unadorned form. There is no effort to soften its natural tension or smooth its edges, only a commitment to letting acidity, minerality, and texture speak with precision. The influence of old vines is felt most clearly in the wine’s natural balance. Fruit from forty-year-old vineyards brings depth and structure without sacrificing energy, allowing the Vieilles Vignes to deliver intensity through linearity rather than weight. Stainless steel élevage preserves focus, while bottling without fining or filtration maintains texture and detail, resulting in a wine that feels both grounded and vividly alive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"SG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49238350135613,"sku":"","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/2114\/7709\/files\/unnamed-2.png?v=1788528678"},{"product_id":"pax-chardonnay-rhyolite-sonoma-california-2022","title":"Pax | Chardonnay, Rhyolite | Sonoma, California | 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePax \u0026amp; Pamela Mahle have been one of California’s leading producers of cool-climate Syrah since 2000.

Beginning with one barrel of wine made in their basement, the winery started small and grew slowly by sourcing grapes from some of the most remarkable vineyards in California. Duncan and Nathan grew up together in the Napa Valley and from an early age were immersed in the rhythm of agrarian life surrounded by the vineyards and winemaking of the early 1980’s. Both of their families, while not directly involved in winemaking, were deeply rooted in the community as chefs, coopers, teachers and attorneys in what, at the time, was a small up and coming wine region. After college, the duo followed their passion into the wine industry with Nathan joining his father as a cooper of oak wine barrels and Duncan pursuing winemaking in several renowned wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"A delightfully fresh and mineral Chardonnay that pushes back against any Napa Valley caricatures of this variety.
