The Story
The 2020 Woolsey Road Chardonnay consists of ultra-premium fruit hailing from the legendary Russian River Valley AVA. Planted in the 1970’s, these 50-year-old vines (Old Wente Clone) grown on sandy gold loam fully express themselves with intense tropical notes, oceanic minerality, and bright acidity.
