fruity and minerally

so a prime parcel to say the least

Structured and firm

That lovely conifer and lemon notion still plays aromatically around the edges

unctuously textured

2020 | Marine Layer 'Charles Heintz' Chardonnay | Sonoma Coast Avinyo Caves fruity and minerallyThe Chardonnay from this vineyard develops slowly as foggy, cool evenings slow down ripening significantly, especially at the end of the season. The soil is a classic sandy Goldridge loam. The resulting wines are prized for their layers of flavor and incredible depth, yet they also retain beautiful structural elements. Owner and grower, Charlie Heintzs family has farmed this land for over 100 years.
