Chalk Hill Chardonnay California White Wine

Product Information

Product Details



Since its founding, Chalk Hill has been producing artisan wines from our estate vineyards in the hills of northeastern Sonoma County. While our 300+ acres of vineyards surrounding the winery will always be the cornerstone of our identity, in addition to our Estate Chardonnay, we started producing our first Russian River Valley Chardonnay in 2018. This wine comes from select Foley family-owned estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley AVA, ensuring sustainability, outstanding quality, consistency and complexity in the wine. The 2023 vintage delivered abundant rainfall and moderate temperatures, allowing for steady ripening of the fruit, yielding concentrated flavors with beautifully bright acidity. The fruit was harvested October 4th - 31st, 2023 in the cool, early morning hours to preserve vibrant fruit character of this year's crop. The 2023 Russian River Valley Chardonnay opens with aromas of spice, baked pear, brioche, hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of pineapple. The palate is smooth and rich, offering toasted almond and peach, with refreshing acidity and flinty minerality on the finish.
