The 2023 Chardonnay Estate is a gorgeous entry-level wine in this range. Pear, spice, tangerine peel and light tropical accents all grace this understated offering from Tom Rochioli. This 2023 is a fine edition of the Estate Chardonnay. Most of this fruit is Hanzell clone.

Winemaker Notes

This straw-yellow wine has a concentrated aroma of ripe apple, apricot, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The rich apple flavors and crisp acidity combine with a hint of hazelnut for a long, balanced finish. As most know, those with the patience to cellar this wine will be rewarded.

Pair this wine alongside grilled chicken, lobster, crab cakes, linguine with white clam sauce.
