Failla Chardonnay Fort Ross Seaview Estate Vineyard

The relatively small region within the Sonoma Coast AVA that our vineyard shares with those of Marcassin, Flowers, Hirsch, Martinelli, and Peter Michael, among others, is characterized by minimum elevations of 920 feet, (keeping us just above the fog line), and distances near to the ocean, keeping temperatures lower than average. Planted in 1997, our Estate Vineyard is organically dry-farmed and sits at 1000-1400 ft. Just 2.5 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, our 92-acre ranch has 11 acres under vine. We picked our first fruit from this vineyard in 1999 and have steadily increased production in the years since. This bottling includes clone of Swan, Calera, and 777.
