Cline Chardonnay Seven Ranchlands 2022
Chardonnay | California | United States
Grapes for this Chardonnay come from three of our Sonoma Coast Vineyards located to the East of Petaluma - Catapult, Diamond Pile and Tolay Vista. This region is called “The Petaluma Gap”, defined as a corridor of cool air that comes from the Pacific Ocean and flows toward the east through the gap in the Sonoma Mountain range.
This cool climate is ideal for slowly ripening Chardonnay and maintaining acidity. 2022 was a warm year with low yields, ensuring excellent ripeness and balanced acidity. A heat spike in September followed by cool rain extended the growing season, allowing the vines to slowly accumulate sugar and intensify the flavors.
