Phelan Farm Chardonnay is California stripped of the costume. No tropical weightlifting. No oak gymnastics. This is Chardonnay from Cambria, on the San Luis Obispo Coast, shaped by Pacific cold, coastal fog and Raj Parr’s obsession with wines that feel alive, not manufactured.

The vineyard sits close to the ocean, where the climate keeps the fruit bright and the structure tight. Phelan Farm is worked with regenerative thinking and a low-intervention mindset, giving the wine its core: citrus, orchard fruit, saline tension and a quiet mineral line that cuts through the glass.

In the cellar, the approach is simple but demanding. Native yeasts, direct pressing, neutral oak and ageing in large Stockinger puncheon, with no need for decorative winemaking tricks. The result is Chardonnay with precision, texture and nerve. A white for lists that want California, but with less volume and more voltage.
