Steel Reins - Chardonnay

Quite a few first-time visitors arrive at the Hayseed tasting garage and upon looking at our tasting menu announce that they are "over" Chardonnay. Given the number of warm afternoon weddings we attended where guests like us were subjected to some of the worst mass-produced chardonnay on the planet, we are not surprised by this. It is very satisfying, then, to have these customers experience the surprise of our Steel Reins stainless steel fermented chardonnay. It is light, crisp, dry and obviously NOT oaked - a flavor component we suspect may have given certain folks reason to be "over" this world-renowned varietal at some point earlier in their lives. Anyway, if you are a chablis style chardonnay lover, or perhaps even someone who thought they had lost the taste for the grape, we think you'll appreciate Steel Reins.

Profits generated through the sale of our 2022 Steel Reins Chardonnay are split 50/50 with Lumina Alliance, a SLO County-based organization that provides crisis intervention, counseling and other services to survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence.
