About Wrath Wines: “Wrath produces site-driven Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc from our estate vineyard and respected properties in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Our production is small, our distribution is limited and our wines reveal attitude, passion, and an inherent respect for what a vineyard can give us.”

Fermata’s Last Theorem

TASTING NOTES: “The Chardonnay from our estate vineyard is consistently rich and luxurious. It owes its heightened concentration to our climate, complex soils and demanding farming practices. By halting the malolactic fermentation at 50%, our Fermata Chardonnay counterbalances this wine’s inherent richness with its own natural acidity. Our 2020 features powerful aromatics and flavors ranging from lemon and pineapple to toast and vanilla crème brûlée. The palate delivers viscosity, structure and a lingering finish.” (AbV 13.8%)

VARIETALS: Chardonnay

BARRELS: 10 months in French oak, 20% new.

PAIRS WITH: N/A

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Fermat’s last theorem. Published around 1637, famed French mathematician Pierre de Fermat proposed that there is no way for a^n + b^n = c^n to be true for any value of n greater than 2 when a, b, and c are positive integers.

The claim was noticed about 30 years after Fermat had died, written in the margin of his copy of Arithmetica. Fermat claimed there that he had a mathematical proof for it, but that the proof was too large to fit in the margins. Many believed the proof did not actually exist, and Fermat was too dead to prove anything otherwise.

For over 350 years, a proof eluded mathematicians. It wasn’t until 1995 that Andrew Wiles finally provided something essentially definitive.
