Tasting Notes
Like stepping into an orchard on a beautiful day, your senses are immediately greeted by lush green and yellow apples, a dash of baking spices, and a bounty of bright sunshine. This bushel of flavor is carried by a generous, rounded palate perfectly framed by a squeeze of citrusy acidity into a pleasantly satisfying finish.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this outstanding Chardonnay come from two different blocks within the Allen Vineyard, planted just to the south of the Rochioli Vineyard. The diverse soil types and unique microclimates of this site provides ideal conditions for Chardonnay. Each clone and field selection were chosen to take advantage of specific soil type, elevation, and exposure to the sun, generating wines that are vibrant and powerful, yet delicate and balanced. Some of the oldest vines have been nurtured by three generations of the Rochioli family. This blend is composed of clones 15 and 76 from two blocks at the Allen Vineyard.
