Talley Vineyards Estate Chardonnay 2023

Our Estate Chardonnay is the quintessential expression of Talley Vineyards, representing the cool climate and hillside topography of our home on the San Luis Obispo Coast.

The blend includes Rosemary's Vineyard, overlooking the Pacific and surrounding Rosemary Talley's home; Rincon Vineyard, recognized as a California Grand Cru by Wine Enthusiast Magazine; and Oliver's Vineyard, named after Talley Farms founder, Oliver Talley. The 2023 season began with a wet winter and saturated soil conditions due to a series of atmospheric river systems that brought 49 1/2 inches of rain to the Arroyo Grande Valley, more than double the long-term average. Yields were abundant and the wines express charm and approachability.
