Our Estate Chardonnay is a massale planting (a field blend) of six different clonal selections naturally creating a wide diversity of flavor and nuance, and are from vines grown in a mixture of clay and diatomaceous soils. These oceanic fossils (diatoms) provide a fascinating mineral and saline thread to the wine while also stressing the vines. When you add these growing conditions to our north-facing vines that receive less sunlight, you create ideal circumstances for growing and producing exceptional Chardonnay.
