*Vintage may vary by location*

The Chalk Hill Chardonnay boasts toasty vanilla and spice due to time spent in seasoned French oak barrels during fermentation. During the 11 months of barrel aging, we regularly stirred the lees in barrel, which imparts an elegant fullness and creamy texture on the palate. In the glass, the wine is both creamy and crisp, with flavors of golden pear, vanilla, Meyer lemon and a hint of minerality on the long finish. Enjoy over the next one to three years with soft cheeses, fresh crab or roasted pork loin.

The Chalk Hill Chardonnay is a product of Rodney Strong's pioneering Chardonnay in the region—the first to plant the variety there in 1965. The 2023 vintage of this wine does an excellent job of achieving balance, opening with a sweet, inviting nose of apple pie, Meyer lemon crème, and subtle hints of vanilla, balanced by incredible acidity. With 35% new oak and regular bâtonnage, the wine has a rich yet elegant mouthfeel, is slightly reductive, and has a silky, lingering finish.
