Semillon, Star Lane, Happy Canyon, Organic, 960, 6 hours on the skins, 30ppm SO2 total. Fermented and aged in neutral barrels. Rounder style compared to the last year. 2022 had a heat spike that pushed things up and yet it was still picked at low brix to give it around 11% alcohol or less. A nice summer sipper.
Notes on the Producer
You should trust an ex-Mormon winemaker. Here’s why…
James started life as a Mormon. In 2009, having already left the religion, James’ brother-in-law brought him to California’s Santa Ynez Valley; a move which would kick-start his career path in Santa Barbara Wine Country.
Originally assistant winemaker for Santa Barbara County label, Dragonette Cellars, James left Dragonette to join Liquid Farm as the boutique label’s very first, dedicated winemaker. James transitioned over to Liquid Farm at the start of harvest 2013, and continues to make Liquid Farm’s variety of wines (now five Chardonnays, a Rosé of Mourvèdre, and four Pinot Noirs) in addition to Kings Carey Wines.
James’ work ethic and attention to detail, including his {annoying} fastidiousness and penchant for cleanliness in the winery, allow his wines to speak for themselves…simply put, they undergo fewer manipulations which are often due to necessary fixes or corrections in the winemaking process.
