Lafond

Santa Barbara County Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling from the Central Coast.

Lafond produces wines from Santa Barbara County's Central Coast terroir, where cool maritime influence shapes the character of cool-climate varieties. The winery's Vineyard Chardonnay expresses the region's capacity for textured, mineral-driven whites, while the Vineyard Martin Ray Clone Pinot Noir draws on the site's Pinot potential—a grape that thrives in Santa Barbara's measured warmth and diurnal swing. A Late Harvest Riesling rounds the portfolio, capturing the aromatic and sweet-wine traditions of the region. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases, recognizing their technical merit across the lineup.
