This Chardonnay is insane! A very impressive freshman effort from Annie and Noelle, the duo behind Etteilla, who recently relocated from Austin to SF with the dream of making natural wine. They cut their teeth working for Tony Coturri, godfather of Cali natural wine, and are now making truly great wines in Richmond. The fruit here comes from Redwood Valley and the wine is creamy, screaming with bright acidity and fresh and lifted with minerality. No sulfur added at any stage! I first tasted this at a “Sip and Spin” DJ party the girls hosted this summer in SF and it stopped me in my tracks. Pair with downtempo techno, good friends and late summer nights.
