Claire Hill Chardonnay 2023

Where: Mendocino County, California 
Grapes: Chardonnay
Body: Medium
Category: White Wine

This Chardonnay is from the second oldest Chardonnay planting in California (the oldest is a year older and located in Napa).

Every year, this vineyard block produces a textured and zippy wine with aromatics of jasmine and red currant fruit. The wine ages in barrel for 11 months.

Not only does Claire make the wine, she even paints all the labels herself. 

The label artwork on this bottle is of rosa californica, the California Wild Rose. These small pink flowers and their vibrant red hips can be found in California from the coast to the foothills. Like the vines at Lolonis, the California Wild Rose can weather California’s periodic draughts and manages to nevertheless put out beautiful blooms.
