In 1950, Robert Talbott, founder of a luxury silk tie company, was introduced to and fell in love with the fine wines of France. He dreamt of using the Burgundian techniques he had become passionate about, to one day make his own Californian wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, in 1972, the legendary Sleepy Hollow Vineyard was planted for the first time in the cool-climate region of the Santa Lucia Highlands. In 1982, Robert together with his son, Robb, realised his dream and launched Talbott Vineyards. In 1994, they acquired the Sleepy Hollow Vineyard to become an all-estate winery. For 30 years, their wines have consistently garnered praise from wine critics and enthusiasts alike, including a rare 100-point score for the 1990 vintage of the Sleepy Hollow Chardonnay from Wine Spectator during a special retrospective tasting in 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"talbott-vineyards-sleepy-hollow-chardonnay","title":"Talbott Vineyards Sleepy Hollow Chardonnay 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eTalbott Vineyards is defined by its iconic Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, where the conditions are ideal for exceptional, cool-climate Chardonnay. Located in the northern area of the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in the Monterey County, it has been designated one of California’s Grand Cru vineyards by Wine Enthusiast in 2016, for its ability to produce exceptional wines year after year. The Chardonnay grapes were whole cluster pressed, cold settled and then barrel fermented with selected yeasts in 100% French oak. The wine was matured for 10 months in French oak barrels, of which 40% were new. Sleepy Hollow is a bright, elegant Chardonnay, with aromas of Pink Lady apple, juicy pineapple, pear and caramelised brown sugar. Unctuous and opulent on the palate, with refreshing acidity offering beautiful balance to the ripe tropical fruit.[#intro]An elegant, opulent Chardonnay from the legendary Sleepy Hollow Vineyard in Monterey County...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talbott Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40360033583171,"sku":"A21TALBOTTSLEEPYCHARDONNAY","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/SleepyHollowChardonnayBt.jpg?v=1672857516"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/collections\/Collection_Image_706bf0c6-2ce3-4ac7-8c26-71e121021033.jpg?v=1672855437","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/talbott-vineyards-santa-lucia-highlands.oembed","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
