Wente Vineyards Chardonnay

Our Single Vineyard Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from our family's Riva Ranch Vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey, and has a perfect balance of tropical fruit with creamy notes of butter, vanilla and subtle oak from barrel aging.

Wente Vineyards is a family-owned sustainable winery based in the Livermore Valley, California. Now owned and run by the 5th generation, the winery was founded by C.H. Wente in 1883. 2nd generation Ernest Wente persuaded his father to import Chardonnay cuttings from a well-known vine nursery in France. Ernest hand-picked the vines that showed the best health and flavours and grafted them together, propagating a 'Wente clone' of Chardonnay that today accounts for over 75% of all Californian Chardonnay.

Sourced exclusively from Wente's Riva Ranch vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey, south of San Francisco, where they have been growing grapes since the 1960s. Arroyo Seco is recognised as one of the best places in California to grow Chardonnay. The long, cool growing season with the deep gravel soil ripen Chardonnay perfectly, which gives a natural balance between sugar and acidity.
