The Story
Chardonnay has been the preeminent white wine at Bethel Heights since the first vines were planted
here in 1977. Today we have five different blocks of Chardonnay planted on various benches and
slopes around our Estate vineyards. Our family name on this reserve CHARDONNAY CASTEEL is our license to choose our personal favorite lots from the vintage and give them the luxury of a long slow fermentation in barrique. The selection has varied from vintage to vintage.
