Each vintage, Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay is a single-vineyard expression that captures our estate’s “refrigerated sunshine”— aka Santa Maria Valley's ocean influence, warm sun, and cool breeze. This layered, elegant, and distinct wine is crafted exclusively from the fog-swept vines of Katherine’s Vineyard, named after our proprietor Katie Jackson in 1986, and planted within ancient soils consisting of fossilized seashells, shale, limestone and sand.
Tasting Notes: A medium-bodied wine featuring flavors of baked apple, pear, pineapple, and apricot. The palate is accented by warm baking spices, toasted hazelnut, and stony minerality.
Pairing Notes: Scallops, Grilled Swordfish, Lemon Herb Butter Chicken
