Radio-Coteau ‘Wingtine’ Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, 2020

Radio-Coteau is one of Sonoma Coast’s most respected small producers, known for biodynamic farming, meticulous vineyard care, and wines that express both place and vintage with striking clarity. The name ‘Wingtine’ refers to a wing-shaped cultivator used to gently loosen and aerate the region’s prized Goldridge soils, improving vine health while preserving the complex network of microorganisms that give the wines their depth and vitality. Fruit for this wine comes from the winery’s own estate and the celebrated Heintz Ranch, both farmed with the same low-impact, organic principles.

The 2020 Wingtine Chardonnay captures the cool coastal character of the Sonoma Coast in a beautifully poised style. Layers of Meyer lemon, crisp pear and white peach are lifted by notes of jasmine, almond blossom and a subtle sea-spray minerality. The palate is precise and elegant, with a fine thread of acidity balancing a creamy mid-palate and a long, graceful finish. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak, it offers both purity and texture in perfect measure.

What makes this wine special is the combination of exceptional vineyard sites, hands-on, sustainable farming, and a winemaking approach that favours nuance over power. With limited production and a devoted following among sommeliers and collectors, Wingtine has become a benchmark for cool-climate California Chardonnay. It’s a bottle that offers sophistication without heaviness - equally suited to fine dining, cellaring, or simply enjoying on a special evening.
