Wente Vineyards Riva Ranch Reserve Chardonnay 2014

Our Riva Ranch Chardonnay is a beautifully rich, yet balanced style of Chardonnay that represents what the Arroyo Seco appellation has to give. Deep, rich soils allow for vines with deep roots, which help to deliver rich fruit flavors. In addition to the classic Chardonnay aromas of apple and pear, Arroyo Seco consistently delivers aromas of tropical fruits and stone fruits.

For five generations, this family has been dedicated to the art of winemaking and to the philosophy that the quality of a wine originates in the vineyard. Their Single Vineyard Riva Ranch Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from their family’s Riva Ranch Vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey. Arroyo Seco is widely regarded as one of the best places in California to grow Chardonnay, where they have been growing since the 1960’s.
