This is a lemon-bright white with seaspray minerality and a kiss of vanilla and baking spice that carries through on the medium-bodied palate. The flavors build with intensity, finishing with notes of toasty, flaky croissant and chalky minerality. An inviting and delicious Chardonnay. Sourced from own-rooted vines in two blocks of Fiddlestix Vineyard—Block 2A (massal) and Block 2B (Clone 76)—the wine was barrel-fermented with no stirring and aged on the lees for 10 months in 40% new French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered under DIAM 30 closure. Founded in 2024 by winemaker Adam Edelman, Nisi Wines is dedicated to crafting minimal-intervention Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from top sites across the Sta. Rita Hills.
Bright, candied red fruit defines the character of this site and appellation, accented by cedarwood nuances and sweet brown baking spices. Medium-bodied, it shows crunchy apple-skin tannins that frame supple, plump red fruit. This is a strong effort from the site, carrying a saline, wet-stone minerality that clearly reflects the Our Lady of Guadalupe Vineyard, owned by Dave Phinney. The vineyard sits on the western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. This 100% Pinot Noir is a co-fermentation of two blocks (50% Clone 828 and 50% Pommard Clone), using a mix of punchdowns and pumpovers. The wine was barrel-aged for 10 months in neutral French oak (once-used Chardonnay barrels) and bottled unfined and unfiltered under DIAM 30 closure. Founded in 2024 by winemaker Adam Edelman—whose experience includes Realm Cellars, Fait-Main, and Teeter-Totter—Nisi Wines focuses on minimal-intervention Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from top sites across the Sta. Rita Hills.
