Nestled in the rolling hills of California near the 39th parallel, a group of passionate winemakers came together with a mission: to craft exceptional quality wines that delight the senses and protect the environment and communities they serve. This marked the debut of Line 39 wines, a leader in earth-friendly winemaking and proud member of the B Corp community.
From the very beginning, they knew they wanted to create delicious wines that also reflected their commitment to the planet. That's why they make their wine in a certified sustainable winery and source their grapes from certified sustainable vineyards that are committed to protecting the soil, the environment, their employees and communities around them. Healthier soils don't just make amazing wine, they capture the magic of their home. Winemaker, Alyssa Reynolds, creates beautiful wines that are balanced, nuanced, and truly unforgettable. Rich, fruity reds that highlight the best their grapes have to offer and bright, crisp whites that dance across your tongue, delivering refreshment straight to your taste buds.
As a certified B Corporation, they hold themselves to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. They invite you to join them on this journey and to enjoy some delicious wine.
California’s most praised white wine, Chardonnay is also the state’s most planted white grape variety. Diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of wine styles.
Chardonnay planted in the cooler, coastal zones takes on bright characteristics like lemon zest, key lime, green apple and wet flint. For this style, look to the chilly Sonoma Coast, Carneros, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Lucia Highlands and Edna Valley.
The inland zones of California’s coast, such as the Russian River, Sonoma, Napa and Livermore Valleys maintain a more Goldilocks-esque climate where both styles go. Early picking retains acidity and creates a leaner style but leaving the grapes to hang creates an approachable Chardonnay, balancing richness and finesse.
Chardonnay also plays a major part in the sparkling wine production of the Anderson Valley and Carneros.
