The 2024 Chardonnay Estate is a fabulous introduction to the range—aromatic, pliant and super expressive. Crushed flowers, mint, white pepper and slate lend notable brilliance. This mid-weight, airy Chardonnay is so elegant, so refined.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is a blend from Rochioli's top Estate Chardonnay vineyards. The blend consists of fifty two percent from the River Block, forty two percent from the Mid 40, six percent Little Hill. It is a fine example of the unique characters from our property and the Russian River Valley. Floral aromas of apple, hazelnut, vanilla and a touch of spice combine with the rich apple flavors and crisp acidity. 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.
