About the Variety
Anderson Valley is home to over 532 acres of Chardonnay vineyards and continues to attract new plantings thanks to its ideal cool-climate conditions. While much of the fruit contributes to premium sparkling wines, the region also produces exceptional still Chardonnays that beautifully express the terroir.
Influenced by coastal fog and moderate temperatures, Anderson Valley Chardonnay is known for its bright citrus profile, lively acidity, and pronounced mineral character. Depending on the winemaking approach, these wines can range from crisp and refreshing styles fermented in stainless steel to richer, more textured expressions aged in oak barrels. The result is a diverse collection of Chardonnays that balance freshness, elegance, and complexity.
