The Character

Overall Aromatic & mouthwatering
Aromas Green apple, pineapple & crème brulee with clean minerality & a touch of toasty oak
Mouthfeel Fresh & layered
Tasting Notes Sourced from the original 1969 planting of the Rued clone of Chardonnay, which is known for its somewhat tropical aromatics - some even refer to it as the Muscat clone of Chardonnay. Brilliant light straw in color with beautiful aromatics: green apple, pineapple, grapefruit, minerality, crème brulee, and a touch of toasty French Oak. Across the palate it’s layered with flavors similar to the aromas, with crisp acidity in a fresh, mouthwatering Chablis-like style (non-malolactic). The minerality of place comes through from the rocky hillside vineyard in the Russian River Valley

The Story

La Sirena Chardonnay is back! Our first vintage back in 2016 was such a hit, we decided to make it again for the 2019 vintage. I have made Chardonnay a number of times for my clients over the years, but I was not compelled to make my own until a special vineyard site became available in 2016. Well-known vineyard manager Ulises Valdez (who sadly passed away in 2018) had a few tons available from the Rued family original vineyard planted in 1969. I was enticed to have a look, and was immediately taken with the magnificent old vines, their large gnarly trunks and arms. I couldn’t resist working with such a special site, and La Sirena Chardonnay was born.
