The grapes that go into Paul's Souvenir Chardonnay are picked from vines more than 30 years old. The Santa Maria Valley is one of the few in California to run east to west, meaning the south-facing Sierra Madre vineyard sees the sun for most of the day, and ensures grapes can ripen beautifully.

The 2016 Chardonnay Le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard is a terrific example of Santa Maria Chardonnay. Lemon peel, white flowers and mint are all finely sketched. Understated and delicate, with striking textural finesse, the 2016 has so much to offer. The bright, chiseled style is undeniably appealing. There is so much to like here.
From one of the oldest vineyards in the Santa Maria Valley, Paul Lato’s superb 2016 Chardonnay le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard reveals attractive aromas of yellow orchard fruit, citrus zest, peach and honeycomb. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, with more textural glossiness than the Belle de Jour, underpinned by bright acids and concluding with an intense, chalky finish. This is quite structurally tight-knit right now and will need a couple of years in the cellar to blossom.
