VINEYARD: Overcast mornings and cool afternoon breezes contribute to a slow and even rate of maturity of the fruit. Consequently, these grapes possess an optimal balance of sugar and acid, and an outstanding intensity of fruit flavors. Closely planted to 3.5 foot x 6 foot spacing with devigorating rootstock, our Carneros estate vineyards feature Dijon Chardonnay clones 76, 95 and 96. After a long growing season, vineyard blocks were selectively harvested over a four week period into small, 25 pound boxes to ensure that each grape was picked once optimal flavor was achieved.
