No oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation. No extended aging. Just 100% Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County, fermented and aged six months in stainless steel, stripped of everything that typically softens, butters, or blurs the grape. What remains is electric — a wine that tastes like the soil and the sea. The name itself is a clue: \u003cem\u003ediatomaceous earth\u003c\/em\u003e, the plankton fossil-rich geology beneath Santa Barbara's vineyards, is the terroir this wine is designed to express. Jeb Dunnuck awarded it 94 points and called it \"a no-brainer purchase.\" Wine Spectator followed at 93, James Suckling at 93, Wine Enthusiast at 92, and Wine Advocate at 90. Across the board, the verdict is the same: this is one of California's most precise and honest Chardonnays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is vivid and pure: exotic citrus, minty herbs, oyster shell, honeydew rind, lime candy, and a whisper of sea spray. On the palate, it is sleek and taut — ripe pear, ginger, pomelo, and brisk lime zest coiled around a mouthwatering thread of acidity. Salinity and minerals run through the finish alongside springtime blossoms and a lingering kick of melon pith. It gains weight and richness with time in the glass without ever losing its electric freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeb Dunnuck 94 • Wine Spectator 93 • James Suckling 93 • Wine Enthusiast 92 • Wine Advocate 90 — \"A no-brainer purchase for those who love Santa Barbara County Chardonnay.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diatom (Greg Brewer), Santa Barbara County, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa Barbara County\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel fermentation and aging — no oak, no malolactic fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 months, stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unoaked, crisp, mineral-driven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrus, oyster shell, lime zest, sea spray, pear, ginger, pomelo, saline mineral finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Paired With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oysters, grilled halibut, ceviche, fresh goat cheese, sushi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 94-point unoaked Chardonnay at an honest price — Diatom is the benchmark for what Santa Barbara Chardonnay can be when nothing gets in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968920965403,"sku":"210000041359","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/hr79jfmo784dfdgvvzyk.jpg?v=1780517789","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/diatom-chardonnay-santa-barbara-county-unoaked-2022-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
