This exceptional wine is a true triumph, made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from John and Faye Guman's Coombsville AVA vineyard in Napa. The vineyard, originally planted by Nathan Fay, displays incredible genetic diversity due to its unique selection-massale planting method, incorporating cuttings from various old-vine vineyards across Northern California. This results in varying cluster and berry sizes, as well as a week-long ripening period. The grapes are notably small and thick-skinned, with a delightful Muscat-like aroma, showcasing the rich heritage of the Wente clone.

Porter-Bass Chardonnay is produced from grapes that are certified organic and sourced from the cool Sonoma Coast. The vineyard is planted with blocks located on the cooler north-facing sides, allowing for an extended growing season leading to a slow aromatic development. Ceritas favor minimal intervention in the cellar, aiming to express the site through the variety. The wines are typically aged in a small proportion of new or used oak to give just a hint of spice to the wine without masking the variety or sense of place.
