Great Wine Starts on the Vine.
small + tall is a boutique winery focusing on limited production Pinot Noirs & Chardonnays from the cool growing climate of the Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley.
We strive to highlight the unique flavor character specific to each vineyard we source from.
We know great wine starts in the vineyard.
We carefully select our fruit sources to assure that small + tall can achieve great results. The grapes are then hand-nurtured in small lots to gently coax out delicate flavors and aromas.
Our wines are a mix of native and hand selected yeast fermentations, which helps us bring out all the natural complexity of the fruit. The Pinot Noirs are barrel aged on the lees up to 15 months in French oak. The Chardonnays are a blend of native yeast, neutral oak barrel and stainless steel fermentations. They are fermented in separate lots and then blended. With this regiment we strive to allow the brighter, natural aromatics of the chardonnay grape to show through.
