Cline Seven Ranchlands Chardonnay 2023

From the pioneering and sustainably-focused Cline Family Cellars, the Seven Ranchlands Chardonnay is a cuvée sourced from select estate vineyards across Sonoma County. This wine leverages the diversity of several distinct sites, including key plots in the cool, windy Petaluma Gap AVA, to achieve a layered and balanced profile. In line with their "Green String" farming methods, the vineyards are managed with an emphasis on biodiversity and soil health, using practices like cover crops and grazing sheep. The winemaking is modern and clean, aiming for a style that balances the bright fruit of Sonoma with a subtle, creamy texture from partial oak aging.
