2019 Chardonnay – Ciampi Vineyards Mendocino

VINEYARD NOTES

Harvest season is an invigorating time of the year! It represents the end game of all our hard work. This 2019 Chardonnay comes from the Ciampi Vineyards in Redwood Valley.  This vineyard is eight acres selected for their commitment to traditional organic dry farming methods. Dry Farmed means the vines are not irrigated and rely only on the rain. Some proponents suggest it yields more intensely-flavored fruit.
