Rich tropical aromas and ripe varietal flavors are balanced by crisp acidity. . .

Homestead fruit from 30+ year old vines in the cool microclimate of the Monterey region has yielded a quintessential Monterey Chardonnay – as we have produced since 1978. The wine shows rich, tropical fruit aromas and ripe varietal flavors that are balanced by the crisp acidity prized by wineries throughout the state. The wine is un-oaked (fermented and aged in stainless steel) and went through complete malolactic fermentation.
