This is the only white wine Hirsch makes. It comes from less than four acres of vines on a ridge 1,200 feet above the Pacific, so there's never much of it. David Hirsch loved Barolo and meant to plant Nebbiolo on the rocky 40% slope above his house, until Burt Williams of Williams Selyem told him he was crazy and should plant Chardonnay. He took the advice and planted in 1994 with cuttings from Joe Rochioli, then added a second block on sandstone in 2002. The fruit went into Chardonnays from Williams Selyem and then Kistler before Hirsch first bottled it under its own label in 2006. The vines are farmed biodynamically, and the winemaking stays out of the way: the grapes are pressed directly, fermented without added yeast in French and Eastern European barrels (a quarter of them new) and never stirred on their lees. In 2024, ideal weather at flowering gave a generous crop, which is rare on this coast, and harvest started August 28 with no rain or heat spikes to deal with. The result balances richness with restraint at a modest 13.5% alcohol, and it's as happy in the cellar as it is on the table tonight.

More about Hirsch Vineyards

David Hirsch fell in love with Burgundy in the 1970s, then set out to translate that dream into Sonoma Coast terroir. Since 1980, he's planted a vineyard so fragmented (67 individual blocks) that it rivals Burgundy's own subdivision. All farmed biodynamically since 2011 with no machines, his Pinot Noir and Chardonnay capture the Sonoma Coast's bracing minerality and elegance—a love letter to place.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Dungeness crab with drawn butter; seared scallops with brown butter and lemon; halibut in beurre blanc; roast chicken with tarragon cream sauce; lobster risotto.

Tasting Profile

Lemon curd, honeysuckle and pastry cream, with a faint salty note. Medium-bodied with a lively, energetic texture. Quietly rich but restrained, enjoyable now and built to age.
