Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Vineyard Notes

This Chardonnay comes from higher-elevation vineyards that are predominantly
planted to soils of loam and limestone. We focus on sourcing Chardonnay fruit from

maintain a pure varietal character. Each site has ultimately been selected for its ability
to produce the DAOU style of Chardonnay, which combines rich Paso Robles flavors
with fine acidity and elegance.
