This “Gold Collection” Chardonnay is made from a special selection of barrels to emphasize richness and depth of flavor from the exceptional La Rinconada vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. Enjoy the bright, elegant tropical flavors with a rich creamy texture.

A blend of two clones of Chardonnay: 60% clone 15 (elegant and structured) and 40% clone 76 (with especially rich and lively fruit). 

This fruit was grown at both Roblar and Refugio Estate vineyards. In these rich, clay and silt loam soils, the wines ripen with focus and freshness, and express very bright fruit. 

This Sauvignon Blanc has a very lively, clean nose. It is bright and white, showing gooseberry, white peach, green apple and jasmine. The palate is very crisp and slightly effervescent, delivering lychee, ripe nectarine, Asian pear. The finish is clean and uplifting with candied lemon, lime, and chalk.

The grapes were picked in the cool morning and whole-cluster pressed.  After chilling and settling the juice, the clear juice was racked into French oak barrels and fermented at a cool temperature to retain fresh fruit flavors while gaining roundness during barrel fermentation. Aged for 10 months in neutral French oak, this wine displays rich flavors of peach and apricot alongside a beautiful bouquet of fresh wildflowers.
