About This Wine

Neyers Vineyards

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay grapes from Neyers Vineyard are not crushed, but slowly whole-cluster pressed. The juice is racked directly into barrels, fermented naturally with indigenous wild yeast, and allowed to settle naturally as the wine ages over the next several months. The process is time-consuming and expensive, but it produces a level of richness and complexity missing from Chardonnay produced otherwise. It shows notes of honeysuckle and hints of citrus blossom on the bouquet – with a rounded and soft texture throughout the wine yet retaining nice acidity across the palate. It has notes of orange marmalade, mandarin, red apple, and a thread of minerality.

Wine Region

Los Carneros

Carneros straddles the southern border of two of the state's finest winegrowing regions—Napa and Sonoma—down to the north shore of San Pablo Bay. This is a premium cool-climate winemaking area, where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reign, producing delicate still and sparkling wines. Carneros Pinot Noir is famed for its berry and herb profile, while its Chardonnay is crisply acidic with fresh stone fruit flavors. The vines grow on low, rolling hills of shallow soils. They are frequently blanketed by coastal fog in the morning, then cooled by Pacific Ocean breezes in the afternoon. This creates a long growing season that yields deliciously fresh and elegant wines.
