Moretti Chardonnay, Gnesa Vineyards Sta. Rita Hills 
Since there are so many great vineyards in Sta. Rita Hills we like to explore a variety of different locations to find the one that suits us with the style and the flavors we like the best. Our current vintage is from Gnesa Vineyard where the grapes have a sunny south side exposure all day long. This vineyard is one of the highest in Sta. Rita Hills so the fruit has less time in the fog, resulting in fruit forward flavors that show magnificently in the wine…

Excellent Food Pairing: Large Sea Scallops

• Set oven to 350 degrees
• Brush Sea Scallops with extra virgin olive oil
• Set in oven ‘til just a little brown outside yet tender inside and place on dish
• Cut shallots and quickly deep fry for one minute
• Garnish Scallops with shallots
• Add a pinch of lemon zest shavings to each

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over scallops and shallots and enjoy with Moretti Chardonnay!
