Drawing on his experience working at top estates in Burgundy, Santa Cruz, and Paris, Ricky focuses on cool-climate coastal vineyards across Northern California and the Santa Cruz Mountains. He works exclusively with dry-farmed, organically managed sites that show distinct personality. In the cellar, Ricky favors a hands-off, non-interventionist approach: wild-yeast fermentations, zero additions, aging in neutral oak vessels, and bottling without fining or filtration to preserve the raw, electric energy of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003e\"Peg Leg\" is Ricky Florez’s chiseled, coastal expression of Chardonnay sourced from cool, high-altitude plots in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Planted on marine shale and limestone soils exposed to ocean breezes, the hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed whole-cluster directly into neutral French oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeasts. Aged on its fine lees without battonage or forced malolactic conversion, the 2023 vintage showcases vibrant acidity and saline minerality; it masterfully balances bright citrus and orchard fruit with a sleek, waxy texture and a bone-dry, savory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47931072872597,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1718\/0053\/files\/FlorezWines_PegLeg_Chardonnay2023.jpg?v=1788392381","url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/florez-wines-peg-leg-chardonnay-2023-750ml-white-wine-bottle-12-5-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
