Winemaker Notes
WindVane Chardonnay is selected from the most expressive vineyard blocks throughout 335 acres of estate vineyards –a unique property has an East facing exposure combined with a tall mountain range to the West. The mountains provide altitude, shallow rocky soils, shade from the intense afternoon sun and they also serve to funnel the intense Pacific Coast breezes directly onto the vineyards. Vines from the windiest, steepest, and rockiest areas of the vineyards where the soils are very thin produce small crops of very slow ripening fruit that produce intense character.
