What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

Vineyard
Historically called Biagini Vineyard, this is one of the original Chardonnay vineyards in the southern area of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The site is approximately 800ft above sea level and in certain corners of the vineyard you can glimpse the waves of the Pacific. The uplift, Nisene soils are comprised of eroded sandstone and shale resembling coarse, white sand. The site was purposely planted to original Mt. Eden clippings, resulting in teeny, tiny clusters and the latest harvest of any site we work with, despite low brix. The diseased vines, dry farming and steep grade of this vineyard yield the smallest amount of fruit per vine of any site we use. This means harvest always takes longer than at any other site we grow wine grapes. Luckily, the early Autumn Corralitos fog rarely burns off before noon, meaning even at a snails pace, we have the fruit safely hand harvested and on its way to the cellar before the sun ever peaks out.
