Exposed to the fog and wind that funnel through the Petaluma Gap, Calesa is a cool-climate vineyard where Chardonnay ripens slowly, developing pure, vibrant flavors and ideal acidity. Farmed by acclaimed grower Oscar Renteria in shallow, gravelly loam soils, our prized hillside blocks at Calesa feature several exceptional clones of Chardonnay. In addition to producing naturally low yields, this diversity of clonal material results in a complex and layered wine with beautiful notes of citrus and spice.
This beautifully aromatic wine draws you in with tantalizing notes of lemon custard, apricot, lychee, guava, fresh cream and citrus blossoms, with oakinspired hints of brioche, nutmeg and vanilla. On the palate it is rich and mouthcoating, with flavors of vibrant citrus, stone fruit and baking spices supported by toned acidity and a plush, creamy texture that carries the flavors to a long, dramatic finish.
