Chardonnay
Anderson Valley
Demuth Vineyard
A mountain top vineyard at 1600 feet looking down on the Anderson Valley. Dry-farmed, Wente clone chardonnay planted on 1982 AXR-1 roots. Soil type is shallow layer of clay on top of fractured rock. Intense daily temperature fluctuations of 40 degrees. Extreme climate produces late harvest dates (often weeks later than valley floor) and naturally low yields.
