Winemaker Notes
Our limestone soil produces Pinot Noir of exceptional character and depth. After vinification, which includes fermenting varying percentages of whole clusters, the wine is pressed into French barrels for aging. The sweetness of ripe berries, the delicate aroma of violets, and a subtle earthiness, intermingle on the palate, presaging the rewards of long-term bottle aging.

The Chalone Estate Vineyard is one of the most remarkable winery properties in California, and the sole winery within the Chalone AVA. The vineyard was planted in 1919, with the production under the Chalone Vineyard brand beginning in 1960.
Chalone wines speak to the unique terroir of this wild, isolated and high-elevation mountain plateau in Monterey County, located adjacent to the Pinnacles National Monument. The wines reflect a unique character that is attributed to the area’s granitic and limestone soils as well as the large daily diurnal shifts, ultimately resulting in wines with distinct minerality and balance between ripe fruit character and bright acidity.
