Description:
Our Chardonnay vines have been the foundation for the family vineyard operation. This 100-acre hallmark vineyard, with grapes of gold, produces fruit of remarkable intensity and balance. Our fermentation style creates light crisp wines aged in 100% french oak to add many layers of complexity and to compliment the luscious fruit characteristics. We trust that this Chardonnay will bring you as much pleasure in the drinking as it has brought us in the making.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
