La Pommeraie Chardonnay
Owned and farmed by George Martinelli, This
spectacular vineyard sits along Laguna Ridge at the edge of the
Green Valley AVA in the Russian River Valley This vineyard
was once an apple orchard which is why we chose the name "La
Pommeraie" -- French for "the apple orchard" -- to pay homage to
the site and its history. This meticulously farmed vineyard
is planted with a very high density of 2420 vines per acre. A
blend of Dijon 95 and Old Wente Chardonnay selections this complex
and powerful wine has an amazing aromatic complexity of citrus
blossom, honeysuckle and white peaches, with an opulent texture and
layered flavors of candied citrus.
