Azaya Ranch is our coldest vineyard. It is organically farmed and sits on a South facing slope just around the corner from Marin French Cheese. Wind from the Petaluma Gap causes the grapes to have thicker skin, leading to more color and tannin in the finished wine.30 Cases Produced

Our chardonnay is barrel-fermented in 15% new French oak. Our goal is to produce a wine that shows the tiniest amount of pretty oak spice. It is aged in a barrel (French oak) for 10 months.
It is not stirred to help preserve the fruit flavors in the chardonnay.
The strain of MaloLactic bacteria that performs the malolactic fermentation does not produce a lot of buttery flavor.
The result is a beautiful, round chardonnay that comes across as bright and lively on the palate.
