Clone 4, also known as the Wente clone, is California's most famous Chardonnay clone and is responsible for many of the West Coast's finest wines. Sustainably-grown in our Katherine's Vineyard, this wine is crafted from our Old Vine chardonnay originally planted in the 1970s. Fermented in stainless steel and barrel-aged in neutral French oak gives this delicious Chardonnay weight without overpowering any of the clone's lasting character.
The Clone 4 Chardonnay is bright and crisp with fresh citrus, apple and white peach fruit characters. The sur lees aging resulted in a slight fullness on the mid-palate that balances the elegant acidity of the wine.
