Phelan Farm sits just three miles from the Pacific, where cool ocean air shapes a strikingly mineral and focused expression of California Chardonnay. The project is led by Rajat Parr—one of the most influential figures in American wine, known both for his work as a sommelier and his shift toward hands-off, regenerative farming.This wine is a quiet departure from the buttery, oak-driven style many expect. No new oak, no heavy-handed winemaking—just a clean, saline profile with citrus, crushed herbs, and coastal energy. It feels more like a lean white from northern France than something Californian.
