Like wandering through a sunlit orchard just as the fruit begins to ripen, the 2023 Rochioli-Allen Vineyards Chardonnay greets the senses with green pear, unripe white peach, and honeydew melon, accented by hints of baking spice and citrus, reminiscent of a lemon bar. The palate is generous and full-bodied with a rich, creamy texture, while bright citrus freshness keeps the wine lively and inviting through a clean, satisfying finish. Open this bottle for a good time.
Staff Reccommended Book Pairing: Skinny Dip by Carl Hiassen
"With its precise balance of vibrant freshness and silky elegance, this Chardonnay pairs beautifully with a novel where nothing is quite as it seems. Each crisp sip and every page uncovers another secret, until both arrive at a finish you won’t soon forget.” — Regina Fell, Controller

Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this outstanding Chardonnay come from two different blocks within the Allen Vineyard, planted just to the south of the Rochioli Vineyard. The diverse soil types and unique microclimates of this site provide ideal conditions for Chardonnay. Each clone and field selection were chosen to take advantage of specific soil type, elevation, and exposure to the sun, generating wines that are vibrant and powerful, yet delicate and balanced.
