Cambria Estate Winery, a pioneering woman-led estate in Santa Barbara County's Santa Maria Valley, exemplifies the unique terroir of this distinguished AVA. The 1,500-acre sustainably-farmed estate, holding both SIP and CCSW certifications, benefits from an exceptional microclimate characterized by ocean-influenced fog, warm sunshine, and cooling breezes. Katherine's Vineyard, established in 1986, features distinctive ancient soils composed of fossilized seashells, shale, limestone, and sand, creating optimal conditions for premium Chardonnay cultivation.
The 2022 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay showcases the estate's commitment to balanced winemaking through its dual fermentation process in stainless steel and barrel. This single-vineyard expression delivers bright citrus and crisp apple notes, enriched by sophisticated touches of vanilla and crème brûlée. The wine's vibrant acidity harmoniously balances its rich texture, creating a refined Chardonnay that perfectly reflects its coastal origins. The result is an elegant wine that pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, roasted salmon, or coastal cuisine.
