Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Vineyard Notes

Our Estate Chardonnay is sourced from some of our oldest vineyard sites, including grapes planted in 1972 and an outstanding 1985 planting that was grafted using budwood taken from vines planted in 1946. The age of our vines gives our Chardonnay wines their intense flavors, superior quality, and excellent aging potential. The 2022 Estate Chardonnay hails from the Reservoir, Vista, MacWood, and Strip vineyard sites of Chalone Vineyard. The final wine blend includes a variety of Chardonnay clones: 76, 95, Mt. Eden, and Chalone.
