    Winemaker Notes

    Gentle winemaking techniques were used such as barrel fermentation at cool temperatures, sur lie aging in small French oak barrels and weekly batonage (stirring of the lees). To add complexity, a variety of yeasts were used in primary fermentation and the wine was encouraged to undergo malolactic fermentation as well. Soft but evident acids and a variety of spice and fruit nuances result. A gentle fining with natural ingredients add richness and depth while integrating the components of oak, fruit, spice, and acids. The initial impression is a fruit forward wine (peaches and pineapple) with underlying tones of butterscotch, coconut, and hazelnut in the mid-palate and banana dominating the extra long finish.

    Edna Valley Vineyard, California
    Edna Valley Vineyard  Winery Video
    Located just four miles from the Pacific Ocean near San Luis Obispo, Edna Valley Vineyard benefits from the coolest and longest growing season in California. The valley’s east-west orientation funnels afternoon sea breezes so the grapes slowly ripen on the vine. This prolonged hangtime allows the grapes to develop generous flavors and outstanding balance. Predominantly sandstone and shale-derived soils contribute mineral nuances to the lush, layered fruit of Edna Valley Vineyard Chardonnay.

    This pioneering winery is the result of a partnership between Chalone Wine Group and Paragon Vineyard, and defines the Central Coast appellation for which it is named. Founded in 1980 as the Edna Valley appellation's first producer of estate-grown Chardonnay, Edna Valley Vineyard also quickly established the region’s Pinot Noir credentials. While relying on artisan winemaking, Edna Valley Vineyard continues to innovate in the new millennium, introducing one of the region’s first Syrahs and—with the addition of the latest clones and trellis systems in the vineyard and a modernized, state-of-the-art winery—adding new luster to its popular mainstays.

    Edna Valley Vineyard lies at the heart of the Edna Valley American Viticulture Area, established in 1982. The winery's Jack Niven Hospitality Center enables visitors to sample delicious wines amid this beautiful landscape.
