Satellite x Entity of Delight - 'Riverbench Vineyard' - Chardonnay - Santa Maria Valley, CA - 2023

Satellite's Hot Take

This is our first ever true "house wine" attempt! We had an opportunity, to go wild. We took it!

With enough inventory to last most of the year (at least) - this wine (and the other two house wine labels) represents everything we love about wine in the central coast... and all in a populist style that sings our song: NATURAL WINE IS THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF WINE.

This set of three wines: A Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Mourvèdre, fashioned by our friend Crosby Swinchat, are a gift to us as much as they are a gift to you. We took our biggest chance yet for a collaboration that represents our region and our vibe in the most approachable, delicious, and repeatable way we've done yet.

All organic farming, all native fermentation, no fining, no filtering, no additions except for minimal effective SO2 (applied only at bottling)

Satellite is the exclusive outlet for these Satellite xoxo labels.

Notes from the Winery/Importer

Notes on the Producer

Entity of Delight

Delight is often defined as a high degree of satisfaction. The drive is to create that within the bottles that have come from our hands. Inspired by the idea of reflecting the beauty of a site into the integrity of a wine. At the heart though, the wines are meant to be fun and refreshing partners to the good times!
There are currently three organic vineyards that my grapes come from, the first is called, The Bassi Vineyard. Which is a beautiful vineyard about a mile from the Pacific Ocean in Avila Beach (San Luis Obispo AVA). The second is called Spear Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills AVA lying between Buellton and Lompoc. And the third is called Bella Vista in the hotter and dryer area in Ballard Canyon.
