Chardonnay Gap's Crown Vineyard

Description :

This heritage vineyard, Gap's Crown, has become an icon in California viticulture, renowned for consistently producing exceptional pinot noirs and chardonnays. Positioned on the western slope of Sonoma Mountain, within both the Petaluma Gap and Sonoma Coast AVAs, it exemplifies the powerful synergy between distinctive
geography and meticulous farming. The vineyard is east of the town of Rohnert Park, where cool winds and fog funnel through the Petaluma Gap and stretch toward San Pablo Bay. Planted along steep, southwest-facing hillsides, the site is ideally situated to capture afternoon sun while benefiting from extended hang time. These natural elements come together to produce fruit of remarkable concentration, complexity, and balance.
