The Joy Fantastic Chardonnay 2018 comes from the Sta. Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County, California. It is made from the top one-acre block of the vineyard, planted to the California heritage clone of Mt. Eden and French clone 76, where the soils are very thin and rich in diatomaceous earth. The wine pairs racy acidity with bright Chardonnay fruit. It was aged for 11 months in neutral French oak, finished at 13.5% alcohol, and only 100 cases were produced.
Amy and Peter Hunken began The Joy Fantastic in 2014 by leasing five acres at the western edge of Sta. Rita Hills. The former hillside cow pasture is now a certified organic (CCOF) vineyard of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Their first harvest was in 2016.
