2023 Elizabeth Rose Chardonnay

The Elizabeth Rose Chardonnay showcases the synergistic effects of blending fruit from two exceptional vineyards in Yountville, creating a distinctive wine. The Chardonnay in The Block House Vineyard is planted on a mixture of Cole Silt Loam and Yolo Loam soils. These vines, planted in 2010, are clone 96 Dijon grafted to 3309C rootstock. In 2015, a block of Chardonnay was planted in The MorgaenLee Vineyard using the same material from Block House. The soil of MorgaenLee is characterized as Yolo Loam. Other than age, the primary difference between both vineyards is their opposing row directions. Despite being composed of the same planting material, each site exhibits a clear difference in flavor profile. The moderate temperatures of this vintage allowed for excellent acidity retention and flavor development. Harvest Dates: September 27th, September 28th
