Rita Hills from vine material propagated cutting by cutting from older plantings rather than a single clonal source. A massale selection carries more genetic variation into the vineyard than a standard clone, which shows up as complexity in the glass rather than uniformity. The estate farms the site itself, on a ranch that predates most of the appellation's newer vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt displays a pale gold color, opening with citrus, white flower, and a faint saline note typical of the Sta. Rita Hills. On the palate, the medium-bodied frame is bright and layered, balancing orchard and citrus fruit against a mineral, coastal-influenced structure. Acidity runs high, keeping the wine lifted despite its texture. A subtle richness fills the middle without turning heavy, closer to Chablis in spirit than to a riper California chardonnay. It finishes long and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pence Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526782324976,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Pence-Massale-Chardonnay-magnum-2019.jpg?v=1790205630","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/pence-massale-estate-chardonnay-2019-magnum","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
