About This Wine

Flowers

Chardonnay

Flowers Chardonnay is a pure expression of the rugged and extreme Sonoma Coast. Farmed sustainably, fermented with native yeast, and crafted with minimal intervention in the cellar, Flowers Chardonnay is a pure expression of inhospitable terrain. Sourced from a small selection of family-owned vineyards on the Sonoma Coast as well as their Camp Meeting Ridge estate. Each vineyard is carefully chosen for its farming practices, coastal influence, and fruit standards. After spending almost a year in oak, it emerged with scents of fresh flowers, citrus, and a good hint of oak.

Wine Region

Sonoma Coast

Stretching along California's raw and rugged northern shores—and reaching quite far inland—Sonoma Coast is the largest AVA in Sonoma County. The proximity to the ocean makes wines here very different from those from more central AVAs. Whether the vineyards are on high ridges above the fog line or warm, fog-shrouded valley floors, the marine soils, low temperatures and cool Pacific breezes slow the ripening of the grapes. The result? Highly structured, delicate wines with plenty of acidity. The main stars here are white peach-tinged Chardonnay and wild strawberry-flavored Pinot Noir, but you will also find some excellent cool-climate Syrah with notes of white pepper and cherry.

Fresh aromas of citrus, white flower, and pear. Pure orchard fruit flavors are framed with delicate oak notes. Persistent acidity and chalky texture lead to a refined, long, and juicy finish.
