Winemaker Notes
Known as the "noble rot," Botrytis cinerea concentrates the flavors, sugars and acids in the grapes leading toward more intensity in the wine. Although this lowers some of the overt fruitiness in the wines made from affected grapes, it heightens richness and a viscous honey quality with aromas of apricots, pears and honeysuckle. One hundred percent French oak aging adds bass notes of vanilla countered by the
unique minerality of this unique Vineyard site. Try this wine with guacamole and salsa, sushi, spicy
hors d'oeuvre or foie gras

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.
