Description
From the winery: The story of musician SIXTO Rodriguez, featured in the acclaimed documentary Searching for Sugarman, inspired Charles similarly to resurrect something that was always great but was waiting to be rediscovered. Charles found this in old Chardonnay vineyards planted in Washington State.
The Latin “Sextus” translates to “sixth.” As Charles’s sixth label, the name SIXTO was a perfect fit. SIXTO wines are made exclusively from old-vine Chardonnay, grown at high elevations in cool climate vineyards throughout Washington. There are just four wines under the SIXTO label. The three single vineyard Chardonnays are Frenchman Hills, Roza Hills, and Moxee, and the final wine is the Uncovered, a blend of the three vineyard sites. The winemaking team spares no expense when making these beautiful Burgundian-style wines. The wines are made with natural yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, minimal intervention, and no battonage. This allows the finished wines to remain faithful to the unique terroirs of each vineyard.
Tasting notes: this wine’s act is so together. With the smell of Fall in the aroma with lemon curd, nectarine, mineral, spice and sea spray. A suggestion of richness-yet so focused and fresh. Harmony, texture and flavor, the trifecta. It has it all.
