House of Smith Sixto Uncovered Chardonnay 2021

House of Smith Sixto Uncovered Chardonnay 2021 is a distinctive Washington Chardonnay built around old vines planted at high elevation in cool-climate sites across the state. The result is a wine with real tension and precision, shaped to show both freshness and depth while reflecting the growing diversity and quality of Washington Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, polished Chardonnay with a clear, inviting appearance and layered aromatic lift. The nose leans toward fresh orchard fruit, citrus, and subtle floral notes, with a clean mineral edge and hints of more generous ripe fruit in the background. On the palate, it should feel focused and balanced, combining crisp acidity with a rounded, textured mouthfeel. The old-vine fruit from cooler sites gives it both energy and complexity, while the overall style suggests a Chardonnay that can be enjoyed now yet has the structure to develop further over the next few years.

Production
SIXTO is sourced exclusively from old Chardonnay vines planted at high altitude in cool-climate vineyard sites across Washington State. These conditions help preserve acidity and aromatics while allowing the grapes to build flavor slowly, and the wide-ranging sourcing gives the wine a layered, state-wide expression rather than a single-site profile. The winemaking approach is aimed at preserving freshness and precision while supporting texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay works well with roasted chicken, salmon, creamy pastas, shellfish, and dishes featuring mild butter or herb sauces. Serve chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting only if you want to soften the wine slightly and open up the aromatics after chilling.

Producer
House of Smith, founded by winemaker Charles Smith, has become one of Washington State’s most recognized and influential producers. Known for bold branding, quality-focused winemaking, and a strong sense of place, the winery has helped bring greater attention to Washington wines both nationally and internationally. SIXTO stands out within the portfolio as a Chardonnay project dedicated to old-vine, cool-climate expression.
