Why don we produce Chardonnay (or Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Melon, etc.)?
All these varieties ripen too early in our warm climate, resulting in mediocre wines. We intend to focus on later maturing varieties which ripen more slowly in late September, producing wines of greater depth and complexity. The best wines are made where the grapes just fully ripen in an average vintage.
