Winemaker Notes

For the 2000 vintage we managed to entice from our estate vineyard enough Viognier grapes to bottle 100 cases. This was a good year for Viognier, which requires enormously long hangtime to get to full flavor maturity. Aromas of honeysuckle, tropical fruit, peaches, and nectarines are evidence of our success at ripening the fruit in the 2000 vintage. Intense fruitiness and firm acidity is counterpointed by toasty oak, vanillin, and richness from fourteen months of aging on the yeast lees in 100 percent French oak barrels. This prolonged aging mellows out the fruit intensity of the wine while creating warm hazelnut aromas and a very long finish. Due to its intense fruitiness, I find Viognier hard to pair with food but I do enjoy it with cheese, Thai or Fusion cuisine. It's really delicious so, experiment a little and enjoy.

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.
