Excuse My Dust - Edna Valley Chardonnay

Our 2022 Excuse My Dust Chardonnay is elegant and refined; comparable to a white burgundy as opposed to an often over-oaked California chard. Post fermentation, this wine rested sur lie for a brief six weeks in four new Burgundy barrels before being relocated to neutral French oak for another eight months of aging. This resulted in a wine with sufficient softness and only a subtle hint of oak; a chardonnay distinct from Steel Reins - our other Santa Lucia Highlands chardonnay offering. Stylistically, we consider Excuse My Dust our "classic" chardonnay and of the two chards we offer the wine that is the most food friendly.

Profits generated through the sale of our 2022 Excuse My Dust Chardonnay are shared with the Emilio Velci Share Aloha Project, a SLO County based organization that is working passionately to raise awareness of and end the Fentanyl crisis.
